Objectives and competences
- to get acquainted with the basic characteristics of the design of a sustainable multi-dwelling settlement (from 200 - 1000 inhabitants);
- to understand the interdependence between housing typologies and spatial conditions;
- to know the principles of economical, functional and sustainable design of multi-residential buildings and their integration into the spatial context;
- To know the principles of economical, functional and sustainable design of multi-residential buildings and their integration into the spatial context;
- To understand the importance of selecting and developing housing typologies in relation to the urban context (morphology, structure, connectivity).
Content (Syllabus outline)
Lectures:
- Introduction: Fundamentals of multi-dwelling housing settlement planning;
- Housing typologies: terraced and row houses;
- Housing typologies: atrium and linear (“wagon”) houses;
- Housing typologies: villa block, mid-rise block, high-rise;
- Housing typologies: hybrids and mixed forms
- Building islands and contemporary multi-residential typologies
- Settlements of the 20th and 21st centuries: the open perimeter block (E. May);
- Settlements of the 20th and 21st centuries: the socialisation of form: housing architecture by Ralph Erskine;
- Settlements of the 20th and 21st centuries: Urban vitality: the approaches of Roland Rainer;
- Settlements of the 20th and 21st centuries: Archetype and community: housing architecture by Álvaro Siza
- Settlements of the 20th and 21st centuries: the socialisation of form: housing architecture by Ralph Erskine; Sustainable principles in multi-residential design: green systems, sustainable transport, self-sufficiency
Laboratory excercises:
– Reference studies: design of a multi - dwelling settlement, conceptualization
– Reference studies: morphologies of multi-dwelling settlements (cluster, square, carpet, line building, building island)
– Analysis of sustainability concepts in multi-residential neighbourhoods (sustainable mobility, hybrid typologies)
Seminar:
- Design of a multi-dwelling settlement in a real urban context, incorporating with at least three different housing typologies.
- Development of community spaces and flexible living units (housing for diverse user profiles)
- Integration of sustainable components in housing design: green infrastructure, urban self-sufficiency systems, sustainable mobility

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
– Develop a conceptual design of a multi- dwelling housing settlement incorporating different housing typologies;
– prepare an urban design plan (at scales 1: 1000. 1: 500) including ground-level layout and ground-floor plans of all buildings;
– design project solutions for at least three housing typologies and adapt them a specific spatial context (including floor plans, sections, and elevations);
– identify and interpret key principles of low-rise and high-rise residential development in relation to urban fabric, energy efficiency, and ecological impact;
– integrate sustainable strategies (e.g. green infrastructure, renewable energy sources, local food systems, car-free mobility) into architectural and urban design proposals.
Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
- apply acquired knowledge to conduct spatial analyses and identify appropriate locations for multi-residential development;
- recognise key factors of sustainable urban development, including energy performance, social cohesion, mobility systems and material selection;
- develop project solutions that incorporate sustainable concepts, accessibility, responsible building practices, and enhanced quality of life;
- collaborate in group-based design processes and deliver professional public presentations of project outcomes (supported by text, drawings, diagrams, and visualisations).

Additional information on implementation and assessment Two assignments (design exercises):
Analysis of housing typologies and conceptual design of a housing settlement including at least three housing typologies – site plan for the selected location (conceptual diagrams, axonometric views), floor plans, volumes, and sections for each individual typology – presented on two posters (100 x 70 cm).
Upon successful completion of both assignments, the project part of the exam is recognized as passed.
