Learning Outcomes
The student understands nature base and locality as a protector of sustainable urban structure. The student is familiar with design and implementation methods used in matching nature and urban structure and with the methods of securing the functionality of nature in buils-up environments. The stduent knows the principles of restoring the landscape structure in a build-up environment. The student develops his/her skills to plan the maintenance of natural processes in a built-up environment and is able to develop the quality of environment as an entity, leaning on landscape structure theory.
