Learning Outcomes
After completing the course the student will be able to adopt sustainability as a useful tool in the professional practice. The student will become familiar with the basics of negotiation theory and practice, and will acquire the ability to apply them in the design practice and/or in the production of the built environment. In terms of practical applications, the student will be able to manage the design and development negotiation processes effectively, and deliver more sustainable design solutions without losing value.

| The course considers architects and engineers as mediators that help stakeholders align their interests and search for integrated urban solutions. Thus, theory, research, and practice of negotiations help to connect different interests and design solutions in a process that can be managed and controlled consistently. Real estate development, and city planning and design can therefore be included in a common framework leading to singular developments and construction activities. The development, design and construction processes offer a number of fruitful opportunities for mutual improvements that can fulfill the stakeholders' interests. In this perspective, sustainability has the potential to make a difference in providing common grounds. |
