课程简介
攻读建筑学硕士课程的学生以及攻读建筑学硕士课程的学生都集中在五个领域之一。城市实践集中研究特别强调环境的建筑。上下文是从最广义的角度来看的:往复的,互惠互利的情况,同时存在于物理,社会,历史和概念上。在教育理论家tienne Wenger所描述的实践社区内开展工作,学生将建筑和城市设计相互联系起来,同时使用各种媒体进行严格的知识论述。城市实践专业的学生将建筑学视为一种合作行为,通过合作设计实践来扩展个人能力。设计实践是一种反思性的动作,采用了常规和非常规的设计方法,可以帮助学生预期设计需求和解决方案。
Students enrolled in the Master of Architecture program, as well as those in the Master of Architectural Studies program, pursue a concentration in one of five areas. The Urban Practice Concentration examine architecture with a particular emphasis on contexts. Contexts are taken in its broadest sense: reciprocating, mutually beneficial situations that are simultaneously physical, social, historical and conceptual. Working within what educational theorist Étienne Wenger describes as communities of practice, students interrelate architecture and urban design employing varied media while engaging in a rigorous intellectual discourse. Urban Practice students approach architecture as a cooperative act in which they expand their individual abilities through collaborative design practice. Design practice is reflective actions that engage conventional and unconventional design methodologies that can help students anticipate design needs and solutions.
