Urban Theory, Analysis and Design module (AR30007)

The module presents students with the opportunity to develop an understanding of urban design issues and context through both group and individual analysis, precedent study, theoretical design studies, and the development of an individual design within an urban context. There are a series of group work components to the module which build up an understanding of the fundamental principles of urban planning and design, including density, analysis, serial vision, townscape, robustness etc. before culminating in a sketch deign project.
