Exemplary architectural and urban case studies will be researched and used as descriptive, analytical and theoretical precedents to expand students knowledge of the architectural discipline. Students will investigate the socio-political, cultural/aesthetic, methodological, material/technological and theoretical underpinnings of the projects researched in order to extract concepts, methods and tools integral to these architectural works and to generate operative strategies for design.SECTION DESCRIPTIONAs the last in a series of four Design Media courses, Urban Analysis is predicated on the notion that what and how you draw within the urban realm impacts how you will then act as an architectural designer. The course introduces key lineages of urbanism that have influenced contemporary urabn thinking and design while building skills in the analysis and visualization of people and behavior, form and urban morphology, and systems and networks.
