Assignment 6 – Case Study Part II

Assignment 06: Case Study Part II 

Group – Delivery Time 3 Weeks 

 

In this assignment, students will introduce & develop ideas for cities of the future.  

 

Objective: Work collaboratively to  enhance spatial attributes and urban phenomena through your group’s design proposal. Generate bold ideas on the future of urban living. Create a compelling argument to support your design.  

 

Process:  

  • Building from the previous assignment, integrate the strategy developed by your team into your design proposal for the future of the built urban environment. 
  • Visualize changes to the environment, urban form, and infrastructure.
  • Describe how systems interact with one another; visualize flows of information, people, structures, etc.  

 

 

Deliverables*:  

  • Use annotated diagrams, animations, GIFs, or other graphic devices, to visualize how the city will evolve. 
  • Prepare a 10-minute presentation to share in class on Wednesday, December 6th.

Ensure the scale of your drawing is clear. Include a scale bar and north arrow when appropriate. The deliverables can be drawn analog, digitally or as a combination of both.  

Please submit your work to the blog by Tuesday, December 5th at 11:59 pm.   

* In general, the number of deliverables is flexible for this course. We encourage students to make their own decision about what drawings are needed; the deliverables are a suggestion.  For example, students may wish to alter the scale or add additional drawings to explain their observations.
