Abstract

Design Research (DR) involves generating innovative and effective solutions for practical problems inspired by theory and real-life interventions (Brown 1992; Collins et al. 2004, Easterday et al. 2018). The Urban Ecology and Nature-Based Solutions (UENbS) module under MSc in Urban Climate and Sustainability (MUrCS), which is an International Erasmus Mundus Joint Master of Science Program, provided the students with a unique opportunity for implementing design research as a method to explore new solution models and develop guiding designs for presenting different sustainable options to create green infrastructure pilots in Mukkula shopping center area as an initiative under the PilotGreen project (LAB University of Applied Sciences 2023).
