Urban Design Studio 4 is part of the sequence of studios that cumulatively develops your approach and position to design practice in the urban realm, and a keen understanding of the spatial, material, performative and economic dynamics of urban space.

In this course you will produce a researched and comprehensive design proposal for an urban site. This includes assessment of physical and logistical site conditions, multidisciplinary data, and scenarios for future use. You will begin to synthesise information from related urban disciplines and speculate on the future implications of your design work. Independent and collaborative work is key, as is the development of a position toward urban design practice. Intensive and iterative speculation, public presentation and engagement with local community, industry and professional networks are part of the design process.

Each Urban Design Studio develops a program of study to suit their studio theme. Refer to Studio handouts for details of each program and specific objectives.
