Der öffentliche Raum. Theoretische Ansätze und Feldstudien in Zürich

The elec­ti­ve cour­se com­bi­nes prac­ti­cal and theo­re­ti­cal per­spec­ti­ves on public space. Stu­dents dis­co­ver and rese­arch spe­ci­fic public spaces in the city of Zurich using small case stu­dies. The rese­arch work is based on a set of dif­fe­rent social sci­ence methods, which will be intro­du­ced in the cour­se. Based on the ques­ti­ons ari­sing from the case stu­dies, various social sci­ence texts on the ana­ly­sis of public space will then be read and dis­cus­sed. The aim of the elec­ti­ve cour­se is to use the­se theo­re­ti­cal approa­ches to crea­te a small typo­lo­gy of public space in Zurich.
