Subject Description | The scale of the urban fabric under investigation is expanded in this studio-based subject, to incorporate a whole neighbourhood and a set of inter-related open spaces, exploring their potential social and environmental contribution at a strategic level. The student is exposed to further aspects of the design process, including the design development of one of the sites already targeted at a strategic level. User and behavioural studies and aspects of community-based involvement are introduced and integrated with the design process and there is a more comprehensive investigation of the symbolic dimension of spatial design in the public realm. |
