17919 Urban Design Studio 4: Special Project (Part 1)

Description

Urban Design Studio 4, together with 17920 Urban Design Studio 5, builds on the core skills gained through the previous Urban Design studios and further develops students’ abilities in integrating morphology analysis, urban analytics, understanding of place, and the planning environment. Urban Design Studio 4 and 5 are designed to be flexible, so that students can take them in any order. Students work with an academic supervisor to identify which tasks will be completed in each of the subjects. After completing both subjects, students have a grasp of the urban design process and how design can generate urban change whilst considering the importance of urban greening and ecology, addressing climate change challenges, and applying place-making approaches to deliver healthier and safer places.
