Ukraine Masterclass - with Stadslab
Check out this announcement for a Professional Masterclass in Ukraine:
STADSLAB in Ukraine
European Urban Design Laboratory, Tilburg (NL)
Professionals Master Class in Ukraine (Spring 2010) ** SPECIAL**
Stadslab is offering a special 1-week spring Master Class in the Ukrainian city of Melitopol. The topic will be to develop new ideas for its major city park; the 36ha Gorky Park. Melitopol has the ambition to develop the park from the perspective of intercultural cities. The city has over 100 different nationalities. The park should be attractive to interest business partners and to attract part of the 40,000 tourists per day who now bypass the city on their way to the Crimean coast.
The Master Class will be supervised by Beatriz Ramo, from the Rotterdam based office STAR strategies + architecture (www.s-t-a-r.nl), together with the Swiss landscape architect Anouk Vogel. Both are prize winning designers with a strong international profile. The program includes a visit to Kiev (can be extended) and will be developed together with the Kiev based organization 'Democracy through Culture' and linked to the Intercultural Cities program of the Council of Europe.
