Urban Design Research Portfolio is final component of the sequence of studios that develops your approach and position to design practice in the urban realm, and understanding of the spatial, material, performative and economic dynamics of urban space.

In this course you will produce a specialised, independent design research project. This project will extend skills and knowledge from a particular research interest, in a supervised mode of learning and teaching.? Reflecting on the impact of your work in the context of the profession of Urban Design and related disciplines is a key goal.? Positioning this work in the context of fluctuating urban situations and the uncertainty of development is also a focus. This studio allows you to synthesise and focus your skills and experiences toward a final piece of design research. The work will be communicated through advanced and specialised visual and technical skills and presented publicly.?

Each Urban Design Research Portfolio develops a program of study to suit their individual theme and project. Refer to course handouts for details of each program and specific objectives.
