Building on the introductory generic and conceptual introductory projects, this studio investigates a large-scale and complex urban development (or re-development) area, usually in Sydney or another major urban centre in NSW. This studio commences with a broad analysis of the social, economic, environmental and regulatory factors shaping urban form followed by the development of a conceptual framework (structure plan) for future development. The detailed design of urban elements and precincts is then undertaken including the development of guidelines capable of ensuring that design intentions can be realised. Typically, this includes residential, commercial, and institutional and transport infrastructure elements. The emphasis is on creating a socially responsible, environmentally sustainable and commercially feasible urban environment with reference to current urban design priorities such as urban consolidation and ecologically sustainable development principles. Note: When enrolment numbers permit, students commencing in Session 2, or part-time students for whom this is their first studio, will undertake an alternative studio similar that that outlined for UDES0001 Urban Design Studio.
