ARCHDES 702 : Adaptive Reuse

Postgraduate course

Project description

The Advanced Design 2 topics are structured around the theme of �urban patterns�. At their broadest, the topics foreground large-scale urban investigations concerning infrastructure, context, landscape, architecture, relationships between these factors and patterns of inhabitation thus supported. Crafted propositions are to be developed that demonstrate an exploration of the urban patterns theme across a range of scales.
