Course Content

The planning studio course is structured to give students a comprehensive understanding of the part-whole relationship through induction. To achieve this, students are expected to develop the relationship between form and function through ? Creating a structure, incorporating a specific program and integration within the parcel; ? Establishing the relationship between structures, considering factors such as spatial proximity, accessibility, transportation, and privacy; ? Integrating different structural systems, involving an urban design project at a 1/2000 scale along with a model at a 1/500 scale. By the end of the course, students will have a thorough understanding of the complex relationships within a small part öf the city, starting from a single functional structure and expanding to a network of structures interacting through varied functions. The understanding of scale relationships will evolve from concrete to abstract, setting the groundwork for Planning Studio IV. As a sub task the 5tudio aims to establish the basis of a sustainable socio-ecological development model, Each analysis and design stage is enriched by the sustainability perspective to contribute to the production of sustainable urban structures from parts to whole.
