Aims
To develop an advanced level of knowledge and skill in urban design, progressing from the core skills acquired in Urban Design Project 1, Module 7523ARSRI. To utilise these skills to create an urban design scenario as a context for the students subsequent Thesis Project Module 7524ARSRI. To produce a complete and coherent urban design project suitable for presentation within public exhibition and to academic standards in terms of place/city based research activity.
Learning Outcomes

Demonstrate, through application in design, an understanding of the social, political and economic context and appropriate theoretical concepts of urban design.
2.
Investigate, evaluate and integrate urban design strategies into a design project.
3.
Investigate, evaluate and integrate environmental design strategies into a design project.

Module Content
Outline Syllabus:A lecture series introduces a number of historic and contemporary urban design theories.
A workshop abroad or local alternative is organised early in the project, following a period of initial research and analysis. As advanced Masters level work students are self-directed to produce project work in relation to a series of key design review dates established within the module. All the design work is supported by a structured series of tutorials and seminars. A period of time is allocated for the completion of the Project Report in the later stages of the module.
Additional Information:Additional information will be provided in Module Handbook and module component briefing documents.
