Report

In this module students will work individually to develop detailed proposals for the design of a space; the area of each students’ study is to be taken from an existing urban design masterplan proposal. Students will consider how spaces can develop a coherent sense of place, and how people will meaningfully occupy that place through activity and intervention. Students will also develop a technical study for the detailed spatial design, which will address issues such as: sustainability, environmental design, materials selection and water.
