Course responsible: Hyekyung Imottesjo

The course provides hands-on guidance to identify global and local challenges, and stakeholder needs to develop innovation projects for resilient built environment. The courses offers how to develop project ideas addressing considerations to inclusiveness, transdisciplinarity, sustainability, scalability, innovativeness and other relevant criteria for social impact (using EU New Bauhaus model). The four parts workshop modules include identifying challenges in interdisciplinary setting, developing transdisciplinary project proposal addressing the relevant criteria, excercises to evaluate other proposals applying relevant criterias, and to enhancing proposals based on the evaluation from the peer groups.
