Creating Places : Elements of Urban Design

The studio was structured as an introduction to urban design representation and how it is used as a means of design thinking. The premise is that urban design is best understood and expressed through the study and representation of the built urban environment. Hence the studio focuses on the study and representation of the key urban elements in cities and is structured in multiple modules running through the semester, each culminating with an exhibition of the outcome. These modules significantly focuses on effectively capturing and communicating the spatial qualities of the urban built environment.
