Information:
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.
