The studio is structured as an introduction to urban design representation and design of public places. The studio is based on the premise that urban design is best understood and expressed through study and representation of the built urban environment. The first module focuses on perceiving and representing the key elements of urban design (building types, streets, open spaces and urban blocks) that come together to make any functional urban space. The second module focuses on the analysis and design of streets including the detail design of elements.

What is the City talking about?
The 'Scramble' crossing in Tokyo as a dynamic urban space
The mixed use urban block of a satellite town Orchard in Singapore
Case study of pedestrian friendly elements on the commercial street of DP road, Pune
Building to street interface - Case Study
Proposed Street Design plan for Judges Bungalow Road, Mansi Circle, Ahmedabad
A large green space in the center of the whole commercial stretch
A continuous and uniterrupted pedestrian realm with layers of pauses
A major part of underused carriageway space is converted to pedestrian space
The street carries out multiple functions for the users which include providing shade, space for kids to play, interaction and social gathering.
