Course Objectives:
- To introduce the key components, terms, actors, processes and aspects of urban environment and their inter-relationships; to explore specific themes/issues such as public spaces, physical infrastructure, socio-cultural aspects (heritage, gender, urban growth, informality, place identity, collective memory, walkability, livability, zoning regulations) and the role of architecture in shaping the urban fabric
- To learn basic methods/techniques to read, analyze and interpret (mapping, diagramming and theoretical premise) the dynamics of urban environment.
- To create/design architecture that responds to the specific demands of the urban context; understand the processes that impact architecture and the implications of design decisions on the larger context.
OUTLINE:
The studio will be divided into two components
- Rigorous, directed and brief study of an urban context (techniques mapping, diagramming) that will lead to clear understanding of dynamic networks, issues affecting the area and design strategies that build on the strength and opportunities to create meaningful spaces for communities. Various case studies (literature/site visits) will be analyzed at various stages
- Suitable design intervention addressing concerns such as the need to create public realm as extension of the private domain of buildings; the impact and relationship of buildings to the larger context. The key ideas informing the selection of the design projects are multi- functional spaces, public access to majority of spaces, large gathering and event spaces which can be extended to immediate urban context. The probable architectural design projects include urban infill, revitalization and renewal of urban fragments, adaptive reuse, urban waterfront development, transportation nodes/interchanges, multi-use urban complexes including museums, performing arts centers.
