'Asian Architecture and Urbanism' is a selective and strategic study of architecture and urbanism in Asia that integrates history, theory, professional practice, technology, and design with a particular focus on how the study of the Asian city can be applied to our work as designers and practitioners. Although the subject matter (or laboratory) is 'Asian' architecture and urbanism, it is intended that the issues, references, tools and strategies will resonate with conditions in other cities (such as Melbourne).

'Asian Architecture and Urbanism' is an induction (or reminder) as well as a preparation for your Major Project. You will have the opportunity to test the techniques of different research streams so that you may critically select future Upper Pool studios, electives and identify supervisors for your 'Major Project' or further postgraduate study.
