Urban environment design
Description: The discipline is aimed at developing theoretical knowledge and professional skills among undergraduates in the field of designing urban spaces of various types and their individual elements. Lectures and practical work on the systematization of interconnected open spaces, their types and geometric varieties, techniques and means of architectural and spatial formation of the urban environment; also include methods of composition of urban spaces, determination of patterns of spatial perception.

Cycle: Base disciplines
Goal
- To form in the student a holistic understanding of open urban spaces, to introduce approaches, techniques and means of solving problems in organizing the material-spatial environment of human life.
Objective
- master practical skills of methods for analyzing the architectural environment, existing subject-spatial models;
- study techniques for designing and synthesizing elements in an architectural environment;
- be able to model the architectural environment taking into account the interaction of humans, architecture and space.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
- understand the typological and compositional foundations of the formation of the urban environment, types and boundaries of environmental behavior, structural-scale elements of the external living environment;
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
- design a subject-spatial environment taking into account environmental behavior and typological diversity of objects, conduct a comprehensive assessment of the architectural environment;
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
- determine the competence of decisions on the complex organization of the urban environment, give a critical assessment of the artistic solutions of architectural objects in design practice;
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
- present information, ideas, problems and solutions to audiences and subject matter experts; present project proposals in a reasoned and convincing manner;
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
- gain knowledge on architectural and planning solutions for design objects based on a typological approach.
Teaching methods
Lectures, practical classes, scenario modeling, viewing Internet materials, independent research of students in the learning process, solving educational problems. Field survey.
Assessment of the student's knowledge
Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Evaluation form
The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:
- 40% of the examination result;
- 60% of current control result.
The final grade is calculated by the formula:
| FG = 0,6 | MT1+MT2 | +0,4E |
| 2 |
Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;
E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.
Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:
The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
| Alphabetical grade | Numerical value | Points (%) | Traditional grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | 95-100 | Excellent |
| A- | 3.67 | 90-94 | |
| B+ | 3.33 | 85-89 | Good |
| B | 3.0 | 80-84 | |
| B- | 2.67 | 75-79 | |
