ARCH71-119: Architecture and Urbanism Studio: Designing the City-Region

Description

This subject is an advanced Architecture and Urban Design project supported by seminars presented by staff, students, visiting lecturers and distinguished practitioners. The design project will focus on a significant hypothetical development site as an emerging centre in a polycentric urban region in light of global growth and various factors in coastal city regions. This Studio is co-delivered with Bond’s Master of City Planning program to understand urban planning strategies and architectural and urban design processes that support the subsequent design of a framework and urban architecture propositions geared towards addressing issues that many cities are facing, including urban sprawl, the need for densification while enhancing livability, managing, and mitigating the effects of global climate change while meeting the United Nations goals for sustainable development.
