Content
In SRD363, students will explore architectural design from the perspectives of complex, contradictory and hybrid environment within which contemporary Architecture performs. Learning and assessment activities in the unit will require students to investigate the influences of architectural design in dense urban contexts, in particular to comprehend ‘vertical’ relationships and arrangements of the architectural space through high-rise building typologies.
