Urban design studio 1A: Design actions

This unit introduces you to the essential tools and methods for addressing complex urban challenges through design. Focusing on 'Design Actions' - practical, creative tools that combine the sensitivity of place-based design with the analytical precision of systems thinking - you will learn to generate innovative approaches to multifaceted issues.

This studio centres on future urban life at the neighbourhood scale, examining how design actions shape spaces, places, forms, and the infrastructure that supports social life. You will focus on the unique needs of neighbourhoods while considering their interconnectedness with towns, cities, and regions.
