Course description

Students in this course speculate on future scenarios for urban habitation and develop responses to global challenges such as climate change, population increase, automation, waste, conflict, regime change and diminishing resources. The impetus for positing alternatives to the present is explored through critical review of prospective architecture and urban design. This research grounds the formulation of future scenarios and alternative visions for future settlements. The course emphasizes the agency of architecture and urban design in effecting change and the role of visualisation and persuasive argumentation in developing urban design propositions.
