The students are able to grasp the complexity of city and landscape, analyse it and relate it to the discourses of architectural theory.
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."
