| Course Objectives | This course is designed to enrich the professional skills of architecture students by means of analysis and rethinking on a particular built environment (urban, rural, industrial, domestic, commercial, etc). It is based upon selected readings and field trips where students will carry out an analysis of a selected location using a number of analytical techniques. |

| Course Description | The course begins by establishing a common understanding of notions of space and place, initially at a small scale and then at an urban scale. We establish a definition of what the ‘built environment’ might include. After a number of classroom based sessions students are assigned a neighborhood and will put what they have learned into practice. The final output will present a number of annotated drawings which will be reviewed at the end of the course. |
