Description
Using a specific global city as a testing ground, this subject will engage a complex urban project utilising creative and speculative design solutions to confront a pressing global issue. Studio work will involve exposure to an international urban context through either one or a combination of an international study tour, collaboration with an international partner university, or cloud-based overseas collaboration to provide the opportunity to develop appreciation and experience operating as an architect in new global context, emerging issues, and to perform a rigorous analysis of the city and its critical role in contemporary life. Students will do a combination of group and individual creative design work led in a studio-based educational context.
Output is focused on collaborative methods of craftsmanship in both 2D and 3D outcomes including the physical construction of large-scale models utilising the Architecture Fabrication and Research Workshop.
