    Synopsis :

    This course aims at instilling in new urban planning students awareness of the fundamental human-environment relationship and the kind of problem our present day built environment is in terms of urban livability and sustainability; leading to basic appreciation of, and passion for, good urban planning and design. To that end, the studio focuses on training students in various skills of perceiving and appraising the built environment and the society that constantly shapes and uses it; and the ability to effectively communicate their opinions and evaluation on the built environmment in visual (graphic) and verbal modes.

    1. Contextually appraise different urban environments towards identifying planning issues/factors that underlie observed urban problems/success.

    2. Produce legible visual notes that may include freehand sketches, perspective drawings, conceptual diagrams, mental maps and appropriate annotations.

    3. Confidently express judgements about potentials, constraints, opportunities, problems and/or needs of a place using basic urban design vocabularies.
