The fundamental method of teaching is the design studio which accentuates the long-term individual work of students when students individually or in groups systematically develop the studio project according to the assignment. A significant part of the course is the presentation of the design at the design critiques and presentations, and the consultations and critical discussions with the project supervisor and other specialists. Depending on the topic, the complementary teaching method could be field trips (workshops). The design process takes 13 weeks and is divided into three blocks, each concluded by a critique or the final presentation in front of a jury. The time schedule can be specified by the project supervisor in the “project assignment”. The project assignment must be published in the Intranet FA simultaneously with the announcement of the topic description (before the registration of students).

The project is assigned and evaluated by the project supervisor. The project is specified by the supervisor in the “list of studio topics” and optionally in “project assignment”. This information is published in the Intranet FA before the students register.

It is compulsory to submit the project in the form of architectural study and to include (if the supervisor does not require otherwise):
– analysis of existing state, plotting of existing buildings if applicable,
– mapping of public space,
– broader relations/connections of the design and the conditions for its realization,
– definition of the design principles - clear architectural, spatial, economic and social concept of the design,
– operation schemas,
– concept schemas,
– design script,
– location plan,
– floor plans, sections, and elevations,
– visualisation of interiors comparable to existing state,
– physical model at a suitable (including its photographs).
The project is submitted in printed and electronic form in accordance with the FA internal standard “Study rules”.
The required annexes can be further specified by the project supervisor in the “project assignment”.

The following components of the design are evaluated:
– place, interpretation, analysis, synthesis, idea;
– processes, operation;
– massing, form, arrangement;
– presentation, adjustation, defence;
– student´s approach to the project elaboration.
The weight of individual components is defined by the supervisor.

The grading scale is given in Article 14 of the Study and Examination Rules of BUT. The recommended grading scale is the following:
– A: excellent project showing personal contribution, all aspects and components of the project are excellent
– B: very good project, or excellent project with partial deficiencies
– C: good project, skillfully designed and technically correct
– D: skillfully designed and technically correct project with partial deficiencies
– E: sufficiently developed project, with all assigned tasks completed, and complies with the legal requirements (standards)
The works which do not meet the minimal requirements (specified as E) are graded failed (grade F).

Semester block schedule:
I. Analyses and their conclusions/results (week 1–4): current state – number of inhabitants, catchment areas, state of public property; natural setting of the settlement; broader context and the relations to the surrounding settlements; historic spatial development of the municipality (graphically); analysis of the causes and consequences of the previous development or degradation (formation of brownfields, satelites, sport centres, parking lots, reasons for transport etc.); analysis of spatial context – terrain and nature conditions, cadastre and the relief of the municipality; analysis of local inhabitants, their preferences, origin, engagement in the municipality life; evaluation of the state of municipality property; analysis of transportation infrastructure of the municipality; SWOT analysis and summary of development potential based on the previous analyses.
II. Design (week 5–8): script of municipality development – response to the SWOT analysis; spatial framework of development – development, transformation, development and protected/conservation areas in the municipality cadastre; future role of the municipality in the wider context; plan for the social cohesion of the municipality, building the relationship to the place; development plan for the public infrastructure; development plan for the municipality property; development plan for the public spaces; development plan for the private construction; development plan for the sport and recreation areas; development plan or conservation of the agricultural and natural landscape; plan for the municipality transportation solution (service and transit, public, individual, cyclists, pedestrians, persons with limited capability of movement and orientation, recreation); massing design for the developmental areas in variants – exploring the consequences of potential regulation and local planning documents; specifying the most favourable regulations and incentives, formulation of the strategic plan of the municipality development and specifying the course to the realization; comprehensive vision of municipality development for the 50 years based on the analytical and design part.
III. Design (week 9–13): analysis of existing state, plotting of existing buildings if applicable, mapping of public space; broader relations of the design and the conditions for its realization; defining the design principles – clear architectural, spatial, economic and social concept of the design; operation schemas; concept schemas; design script; location plan; floor plans, sections, and elevations; visualisation of interiors comparable to existing state; physical model at a suitable.

The course aims to teach students how to design an architectural and urban design for a complex of buildings or a place/part of town.

Students must attend one consultation a week at the times specified by their supervisor, two interim design critiques, and the final public presentation. Students must submit a design project that meets the requirements (further specified in the Course Evaluation section) and meet the submission deadline (specified in the internal guideline “Study Rules”).
The particular time schedule of the above mentioned compulsory lessons, or further compulsory participation, might be further specified by the project supervisor in the “project assignment”. The project assignment must be published in the Intranet FA simultaneously with the announcement of the topic description (before the registration of students).
In the case of a student's apology and with approval of the supervisor, personal participation may be substituted with online participation in the studio.
