ProjectMaster's Project Landscape Architecture M 1|2, 12 ECTS
Integrative Discipline: Sociological research and citizen involvement, 3 ECTS
In the upcoming winter semester 2015/16 the Chair of Landscape Architecture and Public Space, Prof. Keller, will offer a strategic design in the informal settlement Cañada Real Galiana, Madrid as Master‘s project 1|2. In media Cañada Real Galiana in Madrid is presented as the biggest slum of Europe and as dangerous no-go-area. But for more than 8,000 people the Cañada is their daily living environment and lived reality. Is it possible to develop public spaces and essential infrastructures—with the involvement of residents and marginalized groups—as urban catalysts in the Cañada and thereby to improve living conditions in the settlement?
Assignment TaskWanted are process-oriented development concepts for sector 5 of the informal settlement Cañada Real Galiana. The landscape architectural / urban interventions and strategies are to be developed by involving local initiatives, stakeholder networks, and marginalized groups—with the aim to develop public spaces and essential infrastructure as urban catalysts in the Cañada and to improve the living conditions in the settlement.
