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.
