Description
This subject is an advanced Architecture and Urban Design project supported by seminars presented by staff, visiting lecturers and distinguished practitioners. The design project will focus on a significant hypothetical development site as an emerging centre in light of urban growth and the need for civic spaces in city regions.
This Studio develops architectural design interventions in the context of the dominant contemporary city region, exploring urban design strategies and place-making towards addressing issues that many cities are facing, including civic spaces, heritage, culture, densification, liveability, resilience towards climate change while meeting the United Nations goals for sustainable cities and communities.
Subject details
Learning outcomes
- Understand, identify and evaluate project development options in response to a project brief, including environmental sustainability considerations and drawing knowledge from building science, technology, behavioural and social science to optimise the performance of the project. (PC24 & 28)
