Planning Studio IV

Course content

The planning studio course continues to explore part-whole relationship, extending from neighbourhood scale to the urban-regional scale, building upon the foundations set in Planning Studio III. It begins with the development of 1/5000 scale plans covering a broader part of the city. Students start to deal with a different abstraction level by moving from structures to land-uses. Central to the course is the interplay between land-uses and the transportation system that links them, Throughout the planning process, decisions are made based on policies and are realized through spatial strategies and implementation opportunities, Students will learn to: Develop decisions based on relationship with different land-uses; Utilise varying abstraction levels appropriate to each scale; Conduct spatial analysis using written and numerical data; Formulate visions, policies, strategies, and targets, and spatially represent them on urban development plans.
