“URBAN DESIGN HELPING ARCHITECTURE AND VICE VERSA”
The module’s aim is to promote coherence between the architectural project and the built environment’s design. The module develops detailed design approach to the local scale.
Knowledge will be imparted through lectures on:
- regeneration’s strategies of contemporary city;
- description of several regeneration’s projects;
- major concepts used in the analysis and understanding of the built environment (townscape analysis, morphology, uses, natural environment);
- description of differents masterplans and design code.
The module experiments a design’s method based on site analysis, evaluation and project referred to the local dimension.
The final work, prepared in class seminars, concerns:
- urban design analysis of the local context (urban pattern, open space and environmental issues, infrastructure and transport issues, community and social issues, existing community facilities, development issues/current initiative);
- critical understanding of people’s diverse everyday uses, problems, link and project opportunities, site analysis summary;
- strategic context framework plan and project opportunities as answer to the revealed contradictions.
Students, in investigation’s group, have to produce four outlines: two concern the urban design analysis of the local context and two describe the project through the elaboration of a masterplan, the formulation of a design code and project’s vision.
In the final examination each student presents an overview of the work which is followed by discussion on the issues raised. The module encourages student to develop a critical perspective on their own work.
