Subject Description | This studio-based subject addresses the design of local places such as a small urban neighbourhood, concentrating on the role of the local public domain including streets, open spaces, etc. There will be evaluation of the surrounding built form and its relationship to that public domain and propositions about how that relationship should develop in the future. Basic texts in architecture, urban design, planning and environment and landscape architecture are introduced and discussed relative to the site under investigation. The processes and products of the design process from site observation and survey through analysis to design and communication (graphic, oral and written) will be introduced and applied. |
