Content
SRD264 Studio 04 Publicscapes is a studio-based unit. It comprises a series of set exercises that feed into a design problem. Studio is the central component in the education of an architect. It is the place where students do and discuss their designs. No designer works in isolation. Due to its particular complexity, urban design requires specific and continuous collaboration and cooperation. Students are expected to attend all studio sessions with all the necessary equipment.
