Teaching method: ‘Integrative urban design game’ for soft urban regeneration
2014
Urban regeneration is challenged by contradictory process of globalization.
This double-sided process can enrich local communities or leave them at
margins of global society. Regarding globalization, most authorities claim
that urban planning and design are in paradigm crisis. The crisis is an
announcement for paradigm shift that is in contemporary theoretical and
conceptual frameworks. They give hope for the ‘light at the end of the
tunnel’. Their common groundings are: ‘soft and hard infrastructure’;
‘agencies and structures’; ‘power to’; ‘new rationality’, ‘common sense’;
‘communicative action’; and ‘integrative development’. The purpose of the
research is to discuss possibilities of teaching method ‘Integrative urban
design game’ for soft urban regeneration, elaborating it with respect to the
crisis in specific context of building bridges among academia and local
communities regarding various teaching approaches. The method was innovated
at the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade and tested in Bac community. The
hypothesis is that the method provides soft infrastructure for urban
regeneration in local communities. The research will result in a form of
principles the game should be grounded on, using participative mimicry model
of present and future place for overcoming paradigm crisis. Methodological
approach is based on theoretical comparison, case study, and questionnaires
among stakeholders. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. TR
