城市规划硕士-城市设计

城市设计师关注社区的外观，感觉以及为使用社区的人们的工作方式。城市设计的集中结构旨在为MCP学生提供与社会，环境和经济问题相关的设计城市建筑形式所需的知识。“设计”是一个可操作的关键词：城市设计师直接通过实际项目的设计或通过计划间接地设计城市的物理环境。工作范围从小型公共场所和街道到社区，城市范围的系统以及整个区域。重点通常放在城市的公共领域，重点关注的是宜居性，身份，场所营造和日常生活质量。集中注意力同样关注â¢â€œurbanââ€的概念，它借鉴了城市规划，建筑，景观建筑等学科的方法，以及社会科学的
Urban designers are concerned with how places look, how they feel, how they relate to natural processes, and how they work for the people who use them. The Urban Design concentration is structured to give M.C.P. students the knowledge necessary to design urban built form in relation to social, environmental, and economic concerns. ''Design'' is a key, operative word: urban designers shape built and natural environments both directly through their proposals for specific interventions and indirectly through their contributions to policies and plans that shape the actions of other city making actors. Urban design work ranges in scale from small public spaces and streets to neighborhoods, citywide systems, and regional strategies. The emphasis of much urban design work is on the public realm of cities, with central concerns being livability, identity, place-making, equity, environmental performance, the interface between the public and private realms, and the quality of everyday life. The concentration is equally concerned with conceptions of the ''urban'' and it draws on approaches from the disciplines of city planning, architecture, landscape architecture, as well as theories and methods from the social sciences with the intent of analyzing the urban condition and designing the urban realm. The studio experience is central to the urban design concentration. Working in teams and individually, students explore planning and design possibilities for urban places and learn to articulate and present their ideas through visual and verbal communication. Learning from local and global contexts, and how cities have been designed and inhabited in the past, students envision possibilities for the future. Graduates in urban design work for public agencies across scales, advocacy organizations, and private architectural, landscape, city planning, and community development firms whose clients are both public and private.
