The communicative planning theory as a basis for the course.
Key emphases:
• all forms of knowledge are socially constructed, itʼs the social context within which individuals form
interests;
• the development and communication of knowledge and reasoning take many forms;
• the relations of power have the potential to oppress and dominate through the assumptions and
practices;
• the public policies which seek to be efﬁcient, effective and accountable need to draw upon knowledge
and reasoning;
• this leads towards collaborative consensus-building practices, which have the capacity to endure, in
other words, to build cultures;
• the planning work is both embedded in its context of social relations, and has a capacity to challenge
and change these relations.

Patsy Healey, John Forester, Bengt Flyvberg, John Friedman, Charlie Jürgen Habermas: the theory
Hoch, Judy Innes, Tore Sager and others of communicative rationality

“The essential tasks to achieve with the use of new media are:
providing a communication platform which suppresses a barrier of
non-professionalism, allowing for distant contacts and enabling
participatory process management. “

seductive qualities and is likely to inspire immediate reactions”

“1. It is the work of the urban architect to capture, in a geometric web, such
varied and dynamic human and natural elements. 2. The form of a city and the
forms of its many elements are therefore shaped by multiple, independent forces,
and each has independent measures of excellence. (...).

“Ultimately, dealing with the city we need to embrace its emergent nature, its
unfolding events and ceaseless encounters that are informed and imagined by
many people at a time.”

Main assumptions concerning expected students skills:

1. observation, analysis and then conversion of gathered data into
comprehensible presentation - visualisation of data in an attractive way,
also with the use of 3D geo-infographics

2. emphasis on the development of the analytical/methodological
workshop

3. ‘crowd sourcing’ as a tool to gather information and to communicate
with the public.



Charleroi Canal in Brussels – social polarisation as genesis of malfunctioning - visualisation,
ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, students: Agata Wierzbicka, Ewa Stankiewicz


Charleroi Canal in Brussels – social polarisation as genesis of malfunctioning - visualisation, Physical factors:
1. Open spaces in relation to residential area, 2. Relations between localisation of different functions


Physical factors: 1. Open spaces in relation to residential area, 2. Relations between buildings and their
distance to the nearest shop, 3. Industrial buildings devided by the dependence on the canal


Social factors: 1. Division of neighborhood by the condition and status level, 2. Overlay of different layers



Spatial model of public transport in Wrocław – methods of managing the data: 1. manual, 2. potentially
automatic, ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, student: Tomasz Kujawski
„(...) After some experience with retyping data from website, checking compatibility with map, and writing up a new data sheet, I wish
everybody to learn methods how to connect any datasheet to drawing. It is useful, for one can work on mastering THE QUESTION, not
ﬁngerjoints. (...)”



Wroclaw center’s borded drawn by capacity and location of tram transport nodes, proceeded for 7-9 a.m. On
workdays, ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, student: Tomasz Kujawski
„(...) value for each tram stop is counted in linear proportion to trams stopping. Relatively, the images show the proportion between usage of
main nodes. Quantitatively, the capacity was calculated as the number of trams stopping multiplied by 240 (intuitively estimated average
capacity of tram), and divided by 5, according to estimation that in the city center personal average travel would be 2,5km long (average 500m
between stops) (...)”



Map of avarage buildings’ height in chosen directions form Wroclaw center, ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011,
tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, student: Tomasz Kujawski
„(...) Heights contain values from 5(for small industry) to 40 (for churches), and further they rely on newspaper knowledge about higher points.
As the heights were assigned, the extrusion was proceeded according to (height) ^ 1.5 + 15. Because of that, the higher the point gets, the bigger
the difference is. For 5 areas exceeding 60m the top point was taken. For gothic churches and towers, height of the nave's roof deﬁned the total
height. (...)”

eVolo competition 2011 "skyscraper for XXI century". The design was 'morphologically based on quantities
and methods of processing of municipal solic waste (MSW).
