Urban Design
Emphasis:
Architecture is not an isolated private statement. Rather, it is at once a public (urban) act
and a reflection of our understanding of the world at any given moment: i.e., what it
might be. Its formal order both reflects and promotes plausible ideas of social,
philosophical and urban order. Architecture is an art to be sure, but it is a social art, an
urban art.
It will operate on the premise that public spaces are important to the livability of a city.
The public realm quite literally provides the platform for its arts and culture to exist and
adds to the desirability of its inhabitants.
Content:
1. Understanding the term Urban: Definitions and Approaches, looking at how various
theorists have defined / understood the “urban” or the “city” as an object of investigation.
2. Urbanism & New Urbanism
3. Understanding the term Urban Design and inter-relation of Architecture and Urban
Design.
4. 'Urban Design' as a focus on physical improvement of the public environment.
5. Public Realm, definition and understanding the design of Public realm
6. City Scapes / Town Scapes, understanding and analysis
7. Understanding of Terminologies viz; Tissue, Block, Grains, Porosity, Typology, District,

Landmarks,
