Topic

Urban Planning + Design

Objectives

• Critically examine the built environment around us

Activities

• Urban design overview
• In class urban design activity
  • Think of a spot in the city you like to go (not indoors)
    • Why do you like it? What does the space feel like?
    • Using Google Maps, examine the conditions of this place and identify the elements that make it feel the way it does (pathways, buildings, landscape, etc…)
    • Produce 3 sketches (don’t have to be super detailed):
      • One overall plan of the space
      • One plan diagram, identifying critical elements
      • One perspective sketch of your favorite moment in the space. This sketch doesn’t need to be super detailed, or even accurate, but should convey how the space makes you feel.

• Battery Park City presentation
