| Teaching Methods | Selected topics are going to be studied, researched and discussed in the studio. Students are expected to read, make research about the topics for each lecture.
And prepare one paragraph for each lecture: brief commentaries on selected topics in the assigned readings of each lecture or prepare visual material for each lecture like collage, table, photo shopped images or a game (to be ready the day of the course meeting stated in syllabus and submitted as one single file at the end of the term).
The texts written by Neil Smith, Eric Swyngedouw, James Steele, Pauline Madge, Ken Yeang, Bill Mollison, Matthew Gandy, Anne Whiston Spirn, Michael Wheeler, Friedrich Engels, Rachel Carson, Ian L. McHarg, John Ruskin and Ebenezer Howard prepare the base of the discussions. Short videos about the topics will be showed in lectures.
Final submission will be a power point presentation or a poster presentation. Detailed research on the selected context (permaculture, sustainable food, walkable city, environmental artists, science fiction and nature, rain gardens, xeriscaping, guerilla gardening, garden cities, bio-politics etc.)
