Syllabus:

 This unit provides an opportunity for an in-depth review of major local and out-of-town urban design projects, presented by one or more of the key participants in the design and implementation process. It is essentially a lecture series with invited guests detailing the "inside story" of significant projects, from the perspective of design practitioners, public agencies, private developers and/or members of the affected community. Through these presentations, students are exposed to a wide range of urbandesign situations, to the unexpected deviations that routinely modify an urban design process, and to the various techniques used to resolve these issues. In addition to short assignments in response to the presentations, students prepare a detailed casestudy as the semester project.
