AREA OF INTEREST: ARCHITECTURE & PLANNING -------------------------
COURSE DETAILS: The limits to density are at the heart of every urban
project, every architectural design, every property investment and
every assessment of sustainability. No matter the social and
environmental signficance of the project, the brilliance of its
design, its profitability, or the level of innovation, its density is
always measured, always negotiated and (nearly always) maximised. This
short course will sharpen your concepts of urban density, offer
precise terminology, explore the policy implications of density at
various urban scales, develop models for urban form at relevant
densities, and teach you how to translate density standards into
physical forms, and vice versa.
DELIVERY AND ASSESSMENT: Face-to-face delivery at UNSW Sydney
including lectures, discussions, workshops and a group assignment.
SKILLS: By the end of this course you will be able to:
*
acquire knowledge of urban density in theory and practice with respect
to how it is defined, how it is measured, and how valid comparisons
can be made concerning densities in Sydney and other global cities
*
develop your understanding on how density controls translate into the
physical form of urban precincts
*
develop your ability to communicate the understanding and assessment
of urban density measures to other professionals and the community on
the basis of clear definitions and valid data
*
develop your ability to advance the awareness of urban density based
on the need to achieve good design outcomes at neighbourhood scale in
the context of community expectations and the role of Sydney as a
global city.
