ARCH 594 - Urban Ecology


Prerequisites: Graduate standing or Senior standing w/ permission of the instructor
Urban Ecology focuses on issues of sustainable urbanism and examines the interdependencies of social, cultural, ecological, economic and technological variables that pertain to the planning and design of sustainable communities in urban spaces. The course holistically explores how several nested scales of design interventions can synergistically produce more livable and ecologically viable urban environments. The course investigates and develops research methodologies to evaluate local/regional environments including global contexts using sustainability criteria to help the designer tackle brown/grey field redevelopment and retrofit/restructure existing urban environments according to sustainability standards.
