Studio Description from the Students




[Utilize. Envision + Sustain] was an investigation of the effects of city tunnel project on the structure and energy flows in the city of Malmö. Students were encouraged to raise questions and investigate issues that look into the themes of urban recycling, adaptive reuse, sustainable transportation hubs, and place making.

A series of analysis, workshops, a study trip to the Netherlands formed sources of inspiration the students and their creation of sustainable visions for Malmö's future. Divided in two groups, students worked in areas of Nyhamnen and Triageln. The student work landed in individual design proposals for their respective study areas.

For a deeper understanding of the content of the students´ work, please take the time to view the student led blog at http://lu-sustainableurbandesign.blogspot.com/

[Utilize. Envision + Sustain] was a studio in the Sustainable Urban Design master course and was run during autumn term of 2009 at the Faculty of Architecture, LTH, Lund University.
