The course will feature contemporary theories and projects that involve non-linear dynamics, as the main driver of new structures and processes in the urban and regional context. Strong interactions between the system components in the physical, economic and political terms will be presented in order to understand cities and regions as dynamic systems in which the intensity, flow and movement of people, capital, goods, information and technologies dominate over the fixed hierarchies.

Students will be trained to understand the dynamic components and mechanisms of functioning and structuring of the urban and regional systems. Such an analytical and critical framework is an important part in the process of understanding the complex relationships within the built environment.

Dynamic component in the global context; Philosophical base - "nomadic thinking"; Settlement networks and interactions at the regional level; Urban-rural connections and relationships; Existing forms of interaction in urban and regional context; Urban form as an indicator of interaction and activity; Functional base as a driver of urban processes; Everyday life in the cities - "cycle studies".

The method of critical analysis; illustrative-demonstrative methods, method of synthesis of acquired knowledge; Interaction between participants in the learning process
