A studio/lecture course that examines the notion of dwelling through spatial design with a concentration at the scale of the precinct in the private to semi-private realm focusing on the needs of the individual, on spatial qualities, materials, and site design detail. Theoretical, analytical, conceptual, design, planning and communication skills in landscape + urbanism will be developed and applied in distinct projects. Emphasis is on habitat by design, issues of contested space, ecological design and sustainability. The course may include a field trip (location and cost to be determined on a yearly basis) and will include an obligatory pre-term drawing workshop [9 credits]
