This unit develops students' architectural design practice via an urban architectural design regeneration project that responds to complex contemporary global and local challenges that consider conservation, re-use, and adaptation approaches to design underpinned by urban, social and architectural theory.
Students will examine historic and present site use, heritage site implications, stakeholders, feasibility, relevant regulations, policies and methodologies. They will develop design proposals that balance social, political, ethical and cultural considerations for challenging sites and briefs; and explore the impact architecture has on both users and the broader community, using appropriate methods of written, verbal and visual communication.
