NSCPHD1263 Geodesign and Geospatial technologies - November 11-14, 2014
Geodesign is a collection of methods, techniques and digital technologies for bringing together design, planning, and geography. Geodesign aims at developing science-based designs tested with comprehensive impact simulations enabled by geographic data. That empowers designers and planners with the knowledge of how the space and the design relate to each other, what influences or conditions the quality and efficiency of the designed entity, as well as allows to iteratively test what impacts it might have at different stages of maturing. Thus, the ability to design within the context of that information, leads to improvement of the design process and consequently to the more successful design proposals, development and management plans, and conservation strategies. Geodesign framework promotes integration, creates synergy and cross-disciplinary collaboration between individuals and groups.

Course evaluation
The aim of the course is to offer insights into the field of Geodesign, the changing conditions of multidisciplinary collaboration between specialists, and to review the state of the art digital techniques supporting strategic spatial planning and decision making. Through focused lectures and reading on relevant theory and methodology and introduction to newest geospatial technologies, the course creates a sounding board for the participants to reflect upon their own research. The course focuses on promoting science-based design and planning, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
To be announced
•Presentation by international experts at the conference on November 11 and 12 (see http://ign.ku.dk/geodesign-cph)
•Presentation of students’ projects, followed by discussion and recommendations by course teachers
•A whole day, hands-on workshop focusing on ESRI’s CityEngine (http://www.esri.com/software/cityengine).
After the course students are obliged to prepare a 4-8 page manuscript based on their project work merged with the topics taught during the course.
The maximum number of students is 25. If more enlists, a selection will be made based on qualifications and relevance
