General descrip9on of the module The students are working in mixed groups of 4 (2 grads and 2 undergrads). They are supported by lecturers and teachers from different backgrounds. Their tasks are to define the problem, develop the project and interact with stakeholders. Peri-‐urban landscapes present experimental possibili(es for new approaches in design and planning in a mul(func(onal perspec(ve, incorpora(ng environmental values and local tradi(ons. Focusing on Guara(ba neighborhood, which is located on Rio de Janeiro’s outskirts, this module aims to study design alterna(ves for urban expansion taking into account the neighborhood socio-‐environmental dynamics and its fragile landscape.
Cross faculty collabora9on Cross faculty collabora(on occurs mainly through the faculty staff: Architecture and Urbanism; Law and Fine Arts. They comprise a mul(disciplinary background: architects, landscape architects, urban designers, urban planners, lawyers, sociologists. The interlevel approach, though, contributed from the start to reveal each student individual contribu(ons as a valuable source of different experiences and views about both planning and the area of interven(on.

Involvement of local stakeholders The stakeholders involved in the module are local government representa(ves; resident associa(ons; professional associa(ons and public agencies of urban development. They are representa(ve of the main actors in the process. These are: Municipal Secretary of Environment; Municipal Secretary of Urbanism; Si(o Burle Marx Founda(on; local residents associa(on; IPHAN -‐ Na(onal Historic and Ar(s(c Heritage Ins(tute. They are expected to par(cipate in the modules mee(ngs, sharing experiences and demands in order to achieve feasible socio-‐environmental design strategies.
Students Our ini(al assessment was that PBL methodology and the World Café were both very well received by the students. Their different backgrounds contributed to a rich mix while they were sharing informa(on during the café.
World Café Our World Café was implemented in the second session of the course. It was used as a sort of brainstorming session, taking advantage of the students background with drawing and architects’ usual habit of drawing in paper tablecloths in actual cafés to discuss the students previous knowledge of Guara(ba and their ini(al moves towards gathering and sharing informa(on and design views prior to visi(ng the area.
