Group (Miss Arlyapova):

Formal Analysis of Cities

The course introduces students to disciplinary approaches to urban design. Students learn how to read a city - its architecture, its content and its form. Form and content have mutual relations. Every form has a content and every content comes in a form. The main aim of the studio is to study various urban morphologies and their underlying socio-economical and political ideas. Students will conduct a thorough formal analysis of urban structures and learn how they are manifested in different cities. Students will learn how to read a city, develop critical thinking, acquire techniques of analysing and representing urban design ideas.

course will take place on Tuesday evening in consultation with the students - will be announced per email
