11513 Architectural Design: Urban Intervenions
12cpPostgraduate
This subject aims to further architectural design skills through the integration of a specific research agenda. The research agenda is in the area of urban design as it is carried out in existing urban conditions and under the jurisdiction of complex regulatory systems with multiple and diverse stakeholders. The subject critically explores the role of the architect and the individual building in the processes of urban preservation, infill, renewal and transformation. The subject requires students to respond critically to the processes by which the form and use of built elements in the city are regulated and networked through design proposals. Design projects are directed towards exploring the architectural element within the field as a catalyst or locus for development or stasis.
The subject also enhances a critical understanding of architecture as both a discipline with an existing body of knowledge and a set of practices that continuously challenge and add to that body of knowledge. The subject requires the testing of ideas and modes of practising in architectural design, and the production of design proposals that accurately and persuasively convey the most relevant ideas and practices.
