Placemaking and Public Space Design: Unlocking Design Potential
Luleå University of Technology
This course gives basic knowledge about public space design and destinations, and how computer applications can be used to analyse public space in terms of the micro-climate.
3 weeks, 3 hours per week
David Chapman
Associate Senior Lecturer in Architecture

Transcript
Learning outcomes
- Explain how different climatic contexts generate different types of public spaces and usage.
- Experiment with how the built environment alters wind and sun patterns.
- Explain the likely climatic conditions of a place at various time of the year.
- Create a Computer Aided Design for climate analysis.
Syllabus
The course explores three key themes, which together address the overarching question:
- How can we design successful urban space for residents and tourists?
You will explore:
- The elements of the built and natural environment that make attractive public space for people and its use.
- How the local micro-climate in a public space is an outcome of interactions between the built environment and the weather.
- Case studies about how the design of the built environment can improve the local micro-climate of public space to enhance human comfort.
