CONTENT
Urbanism is a dynamic phenomenon involving many aspects – urban growth, l and use distribution and change, urban form, demographics including gender and class, cultural aspects such as place and heritage, physical infrastructure such as roads and transportation nodes, public spaces, etc., Architecture is an integral and large part of urbanism, shaping and being shaped by it. It can serve to include/ gather society and enrich the urban environment in a seamless manner. Understanding of this aspect of architecture will be achieved by architectural projects involving interdependencies between architecture and the city. Some of the issues and areas that could be addressed are- transportation nodes, heritage areas, adaptive reuse, suburban sprawl, place making, identity, collective memory, mixed use programming, large scale urban interventions, revitalisation and renewal of urban fragments, urban waterfront development, urban nodes, multiuse urban complexes. The tools and techniques can include contemporary ways/ tools of perceiving, gathering and analysing data, inclusive, collaborative and participatory approaches, etc., It is preferable to have one major project with small exercises under it if required.
