The course Urban Construction 1 (SM1) deals with an explanation of basic concepts, methods and methodologies of urban development (urban planning), development of settlements and its forms (morphogenesis, structural and functional) from prehistoric settlements, with a particular focus on the key period of development of city culture in the European civilization sphere and other major civilization spheres - the Near East, India and Indian subcontinent, the Far East, America and American cultures of North, Central and South America, global present. The lectures are focused on categorical concepts and specific methods and their place in thinking about the city and its construction (humans, space, place, path-motion, architecture, culture, etc.) in a broader civilizational and cultural context and is completed by a summary of the individual basic types of urban public and private space and landscape space.

Interview
- Active participation in lectures. - Study of specialized texts. - Preparation of an analysis of a selected settlement. Learning outcomes: Knowledge Students: 1. Know the basic concepts, principles, and methodologies related to city construction, the development of settlement structures, and urban planning approaches. 2. Have an overview of the historical development of urban and rural settlements in European civilization and know the main milestones of pivotal periods (prehistory, antiquity, the Middle Ages, modern times, industrialization, the present). 3. Knows the basic characteristics of the development of settlements in non-European cultural areas (e.g., the Middle East, India, America, the Far East). 4. Understands the relationship between geographical, landscape, social, economic, and cultural factors and the structure of settlements. 5. Knows the basic typology of public space and its historical changes, including the urban landscape, private and public areas. Skills Students: 1. Are able to analyze the historical development of a specific settlement using maps, professional texts, development diagrams, and visual material. 2. Can recognize and interpret changes in public space and the scale of the urban environment in the context of a given historical period. 3. Can place a specific city in the broader context of the landscape, terrain morphology, historical routes, and economic resources. 4. Can discuss specialized texts, formulate critical questions, and argue based on their own observations and research. 5. Is able to present the results of their own analysis to colleagues and prepare comprehensible and structured output in both text and visual form.
