Art:	Masterprogramm
Inhalt:	The MAS ETH UD is structured around an investigation of transforming urban conditions as they pertain to global phenomena, and the development of practical tools for operating within such domains. Worldwide tendencies toward processes of urbanisation demand research methods which promote both critically comparative analysis and the capacity to develop constructive approaches to such areas. Case studies addressing such conditions will be taken from both developing and developed countries, with the aim of understanding how to intervene upon and capitalise on processes and patterns of transformation common to both. Emphasis will be placed on the role of urban design as a key discipline in the formation of sustainability built environments. Each year, the MAS ETH UD will focus on specific topics and sites of urban research on which to intervene in the form of a design research studio. The topics address the challenges that contemporary urban design has to face, such as informal urban growth, poverty or aging. The sites are preferably territories under development pressure with existing groups of urban actors to engage with.
Ziele:	The programme aims to develop a culture of urban research and design that enables the participant to actively envision future urban scenarios. Secondly, a strong emphasis is put on methodology, process design and communication in order to prepare for the interdisciplinary negotiating agenda of urban designers with an emphasis on academic research.
Berufliche Perspektiven:	Successful graduates of the MAS degree in Urban Design will be competent in the following: conceptualisation, design and management of urban development projects in private architecture and planning agencies (architects); preparation and moderation of planning related activities in public planning and construction offices; consultation to public and private spatial planning related agencies; research, teaching and public relations in space-related, culture and social sciences related disciplines.
