ARCH71-129: Design Futures Studio: Density

Description

This design studio engages with urban projects addressing the pressing issue of density. Utilising creative and speculative design solutions, students will explore and develop an understanding of mixed-used urban density models appropriate to our region. Students will do a combination of group and individual creative design work led in a studio-based educational context. Output is focused on collaborative methods of design production in 2D and 3D drawings and models utilising the FSD Fabrication Workshop.
