NCD | 'To shape a city' – script for students II
To shape a city
D Batista PhD method
Script is given to students for completely independent work. Each student is faced with his own location, which he has to decide for himself according to a series of factors for a suitable and sustainable topic. 77 students, 77 different topics. PhD Batista organized a lottery in which students drew a random location with origami.
The work process is the same as the project from the first semester, except that the student works completely independently.

learning by doing

Not because they would actually be short of water, but because they do not know how to use water resources with thousand-year-old techniques, structures and constructions in space / landscape.
