In Asian Urbanism you will study contemporary approaches to urban design and forces of urbanisation in the Asian region. Issues of population growth and density, public space and transportation, urban form, globalisation, and historical urban developments over time are presented, and form the basis of your individual research and peer discussion. Projects uncover key socio-economic, formal and organisational attributes of a city or urban region, through drawn analysis, diagrams and text. Through this work you will develop detailed knowledge of a particular city and broader, contextualised knowledge through in-class discussions and peer presentations. Comparative understanding of cities with their counterparts and histories is a primary focus of your in-class discussions and project work.
