DESCRIPTION
COMPLEX CITIES Graduation Studio, Chair Spatial Planning and Strategy, Delft University of Technology. The Complex Cities Studio (short for Complex Cities and Regions in Transformation under Globalisation) is a graduation studio of the Chair of Spatial Planning and Strategy (Professor Vincent Nadin). The mission of the studio is to offer the best education and research in themes related to urban planning and design in a world that has become increasingly complex, thanks to the expansion, acceleration and ubiquity of global processes. The studio offers an yearly programme of lectures, workshops, site visits and debate on globalisation, urban form and governance, as well as other related matters in Masters of Urbanism of the TU Delft.

Our missionThe Complex Cities Studio (short for Complex Ci t ies and Regions in Transformation under Globalisation) is a graduation studio of the Chair of Spatial Planning and Strategy, led by Professor Vincent Nadin. We are located at the Department of Urbanism of the Faculty of Architecture of the TU Delft.
The mission of the studio is to offer the best education and research in higher education in themes related to urban planning and design in a world that has become increasingly complex, thanks to
the expansion, acceleration and ubiquity of global processes.
The nature and shape of the future urban world is increasingly more complex. Large and complex as it is, this is the arena where spatial planners and designers should contribute to with their understanding of the way urban space is produced. It is their task to formulate tools and strategies to intervene in and organise space in order to mediate disparate interests, objectives and needs.

Research AND Design
The studio puts forward the idea that spa t ia l p lanners shou ld ac t as a r t i c u l a t o r s b e t w e e n v a r i o u s stakeholders producing the city. Spatial planners do that by assisting those stakeholders with translating disparate interests into spatial organisation that is beneficial for society. We do that
through the proposition of new forms of spatial organisation and spatial intervention, by envisioning new forms of associations between dif ferent stakeholders, by using innovative tools to promote sustainability and by articulating these aspects through RESEARCH and DESIGN.
Friday, 20April, 2012
Our main objectives The main objectives of the graduation studio are:
1. To research, conceptualize and visualize the processes, the productions, potentials and problems of cities (Space)
2. To lead students towards a clear understanding of strategic planning processes under contemporary productive, political and technological conditions (Globalisation)
3. To enable students to ‘think strategically’ and formulate specific spatial strategies for different cases (Strategy)
Friday, 20April, 2012
Our specific objectivesThe studio’s specific objectives are threefold:
1. Theoretical level: the aim is to give students insight in various urban theories concerning the formation and transformation of the city, as well as strategic spatial planning under new conditions resulting from rapid urbanisation and new governance conditions. In order to do so, it is necessary to analyse emerging urban spatial structures, new social and economic processes, place phenomenology and the renewed role of the State in Spatial Planning and Management.
Friday, 20April, 2012
Our specific objectives
2. Methodological level: the aim is to present various sets of methods in order to carry out research and analysis.
Examples are space and process mapping, system dynamics, network analyses, spatial modelling tools, spatial planning methods and spatial phenomenology.
Friday, 20April, 2012
Our specific objectives3. Practice-based level: Knowledge gained from the theoretical
and methodological levels will be applied on a specific site, implying the formulation of a strategy and the design of one or more spatial interventions.
The site is chosen by each student according to his/her own research interests. Staff may help students decide on cases and sites, as well as the scale of intervention.

Step by stepP1: Understanding the Place/Process and Describing the Main Problem
Students present results of exploratory research and describe the main theme (problem) to be tackled, with a research question and a draft of the methods to be used, besides a preliminary statement of objectives
Friday, 20April, 2012
Step by stepP2: Work Plan with Problem and Theoretical Framework > VISION AND STRATEGY
Students deliver a complete work plan (thesis plan), with the description of the problem and the theoretical framework where this problem will be tackled (theory paper).
Students present a vision and a preliminary strategy, accompanied by interventions described (words + images) within a logical governance framework
Friday, 20April, 2012
Step by stepP3: SPATIAL STRATEGY AND KEY SPATIAL INTERVENTIONS
Students describe definite spatial strategy (image + words), accompanied by the description of key spatial interventions within a logical time and governance framework. Preliminary design of a key intervention.
Friday, 20April, 2012
Step by stepP4: DESIGN KEY INTERVENTION IN A PLAN
Definite lay-out of the strategy accompanied by the design of one o more key interventions at local level within a logical time framework (what happens when?) and governance framework (who does what?)
P5: FINAL STRATEGY AND DESIGN
Friday, 20April, 2012
Vision and StrategySpatial interventions (designs) are located in spatial framework and articulated within a time frame (what happens when?) and a specific governance frame (who does what?)
Friday, 20April, 2012
The role of design is twofold
Design is an analytical and communicative tool to help define and describe spatial qualities and the actions of the stakeholders in a real spatial setting
Design is material synthesis that integrates function, policy and culture in a spatial setting that can be assessed and discussed (materialization)

Aart de Koning wins KIVI-NIRIA CuperusprijsFormer student of SPS won this prestigious prize and we congratulate him! The prize is given every two years to the best master thesis in the field of transport planning in the Netherlands. Aart de Koning conducted research into a new public transport system for the harbour of Rotterdam. The jury specifically appreciated the way how his design makes use of opportunities that stem from the spatial economic context in the region and his ability to visualize his argument. Aart de Koning participated in an integral master education; his thesis was supported by mentors from both, the Chair of Spatial Planning & Strategy and the Department of Transport & Planning at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, TU Delft.

Justina Muliuolyte and Tadas Jonauskis, former students of Complex Cities, win EUROPAN11 Architectural Competition
TU Delft spatial planning students win prestigious Europan award with proposals to transform a university campus into a self-sufficient Multitalented City.
Europan is a biennial competition for young architects under 40 years old organized by the Europan Foundation, with headquarters in Paris. The assignment is to design innovative housing schemes for sites across Europe. In 2011, there were 1826 projects submitted for 49 sites in 17 different European countries. The team formed by Justina Muliuolyte, Tadas Jonauskis (urbanists) and Lukas Rekevičius (architect) was one of 41 winning teams. Justina and Tadas are both former students of the graduation studio Complex Cities of the Department of Urbanism of the TU Delft.More info at: http://pu-pa.eu/ and http://www.europan-europe.com/e11/en/home/See the project at:http://www.issuu.com/justinamuliuolyte/docs/multitalented__city-winner_europan11_reims_france
