Class Description:
The Urban
Design Skills course introduces urban planning students to methods
for observing, interpreting, representing, and transforming the
urban environment. Through various lenses of urban design, our
surroundings can be understood and expressed within a framework of
four methods of professional practice: Observation &
Engagement, Analysis & Synthesis, Urban Design Tools, and
Representation & Storytelling. The morphology of the city and
the interrelationship of built form, circulation networks, open
space and natural systems will be the primary subject of this
course.
