Exercise 7.2—Plan The purpose of this exercise is the definition of a set of guidelines for the future transformation of a particular urban area. As such, the territorial dimension is more explicit than in exercise 7.2. The starting point for the development of this exercise should be the house of the student.He should identify and map the urban tissuewhere his house fits in and offer a brief characterization of the tissue, considering its streets, plots, and block-plans of buildings (drawing on the ability developed in Exercise 2.3).

Based on this characterization the student should develop a reflection on what should be conserved and what may be transformed in this tissue over the next years. This reflection should then be translated into the definition of a set of rules addressing the main elements of urban form, simulating a plan regulation. The exercise should be developed as homework, involving the preparation of a PowerPoint presentation (5 to 10 min maximum), including one map, one table (urban tissue) and a small text (prescription rules).
