教育目標

Future cities and their imaginable designs bear more than their expressive outlooks. Design of cities do not initiate with the essence of how cities look alone, but eventually arrive to the point that, that 'image of cities' is questioned if serves to be the only starting point of design process. That is, “we don't design to make [future cities] look good alone; we don't use that as the starting point in entirety.” (Excerpt referenced on ‘CSYS task light’). This advanced module therefore, seeks to analyze and examine design and innovation that envision from variegated perspectives to improvise form, functions and meanings in strategic urbanism that make up the basis. This module emphasis the working process of current cities and architecture, examining city's elements and operational logics, urban morphology and city's histories read in cultural, spatial and natural-physical layers. Essential human factors and users' experiences comprised the core of spatial structural analysis. Infrastructural system and layout in urbanism ideology and city's structural templates will be taught. After the analytical learnings, the second part emphasis to “find ways to dramatically improve them, with efficiency, with [technology], with cultural 'layerings' of [human factors] and with concluding design innovation creating leverage impacts for problem solving.”[Emphasis added].
