12.5 Professor Ross King. Introduction to Urban and Landscape Design (or eqivalent). Second semester Five hours of lectures and practical work a week. At the conclusion of the subject students should be able to demonstrate:

• skills in the analysis of urban spaces and in the planning and design of such spaces given constraints and opportunities which apply;
• ability to extend such analysis to investigation of more complex groups of spaces;
• familiarity with issues of economic, social and political context, and the material effects of urban landscape design;
• skills in graphic and verbal communication of planning and design ideas.

The natural and cultural forces and determinants that shape the built form of cities. The interrelationship between physical form and visual character of built environments and their social, economic, political and cultural context. Historical examples of urban form and design, classic and current urban design ideas, concepts and methodology. Project work: Skills and competence in designing for functional requirements, behavioural patterns, movement and transport systems, and aesthetic and symbolic dimensions of urban form will be developed in not more than three urban design projects. These projects will extend over the duration of the semester and integrate some of the skills and understanding attained in other second level subjects. Written and graphic assignments of not more than 5,000 words equivalent. 16.7 2nd and 3rd year Professor R King. Introduction to Urban and Landscape Design (or Introduction to Design).
