Admission information
Description
The studio Urban Landscape investigates cities and regions as the key sites in which the urgent challenges of climate change, socioeconomic inequality, and uneven development are staked. Engendering just and sustainable transitions requires detailed understanding of both global forces and local specificities, as well as transdisciplinary and participatory engagement with a wide range of stakeholders, if plans and designs are to account for the conflicting, and constantly shifting, needs of people and places.
The semester is divided into several phases: (1) urban space-oriented analysis; (2) fieldwork; (3) reflections and design strategy formulation; and (4) an iterative design process.
The site of this studio is in the Brixton neighborhood of Johannesburg, South Africa.
