LAD2007 Design 4

This course develops competence in design and critical thinking by increasing the scale and complexity of the design task. Students will be challenged to investigate how urban development in a high-density context can co-exist with the natural environment. They are asked to identify strategies to mitigate environmental degradation and maximize ecosystem bene˜ts while considering liveability and the project’s
long-term sustainability. Through interactions and workshops, students will develop an understanding of competing landscape interests and how they can be managed. They will also work across a range of representa-tional modes, including technical diagrams and three-dimensional physical/digital modelling, to develop con˜dence in communicating their design proposal’s functional and aesthetic merits to a broad audience.
