Abstract

In this graduationproject a method is set up to take subsoil conditions into account in the urban design process to come to a more sustainable end result. By making a subsoil potential map, the spatial influence of the subsoil conditions on surface level are explored. The design proposal gives an example of how different subsoil conditions can be related to each other and influence the urban design.
