The design assignment consists of designing a neighbourhood park. The existing spatial and functional context of both the project area and the surrounding area are analysed.
The analysed elements of the existing situation form the basis for a new vision. Concepts concretise this vision and structure the public space, both spatially and functionally.
Analysis, synthesis, moodboard, vision and concepts lay down the outlines for a coherent and well-founded design. By means of floor plans, sections and sketches the student can bring a clear and understandable design story.

The student receives specific information from the professional world, examples and plans in order to be able to work out the design assignment.
- Introduction to public space
- The basis of a design method
- The students receive information about the various aspects of designing public space through example projects on public space.
- The students are explained the concept with reference to their design assignment, in which they have to apply it.

Research assignment, the student:
- is able to make a critical analysis of reference projects

Thematic analysis, the student:
- is able to read the spatial functional existing situation (genius loci)
- is able to define the importance and content for various target groups
- is able to analyse an assignment on different scales (study area - project area)
- is able to make an analysis and synthesis methodologically

Vision & concepts, the student:
- is able to formulate a vision on the assignment
- is able to make a moodboard
- is able to make (a) concept(s)
- is able to make an unambiguous story (relation between, vision, targets and concepts)

Design, the student:
- is able to integrate the results from the concept faze in the design (design principles)
- is able to see the design in his broader context
- is able to make a spatial design
- is able to make a functional design
- is able to make an aesthetic design
- is able to follow up the design process chronologically in a design book

Presentation & communication, the student:
- is able to give a clear oral presentation for a group,
- is able to make visual, attractive, design clarifications (maps, concepts, plans, details and 3D-visualisations)
