Description
Online Course
Unsure about the real meaning of urban design? Well, this course will share with you its powerful capabilities. Although concerned with the familiar 'public domain', as in squares, boulevards and public art, it is much more than that. Whilst timeless, it always reflects the political, economic and cultural forms of society.
This fully online course, through historic and contemporary visual examples, will introduce you to how urban designers create exciting built responses to the community's physical, social and environmental demands.
You will 'meet' many of the most skilled designers, both past and present, and appreciate how many individual skills are needed to contribute to stunning urban design solutions. You will become increasingly at ease with thinking at different scales and levels of complexity and in balancing the many competing demands.
The class exercises follow directly from the course and encourage a wide range of expression and media - to suit your personal choice - including writing, graphics, models, film and photography.
The course is specifically designed to introduce you to urban design and leave you with analytical and creative tools to enjoy thinking and designing in the real, complex and dynamic world, and to have an increasingly critical command of this fascinating and most relevant field.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Students will receive log in instructions via their UNSW email account prior to the commencement of the course. This course is conducted via the Omnium system (omnium.edu.au).
