Course Aims

The course aims to enable students to: (1) develop understanding of relationships between cultures, peoples, urban development and landscapes; (2) demonstrate the evolution and changes of urban landscape, and understand the symbolic meanings of places and its effects on urban living. The course will cover a wide range of typologies of urban landscape, from faraway vernacular settlements and religions space, to the emerging avant-garde art and creative clusters. Major issues of urban morphological transformation will be examined from a variety of perspectives such history, identities, religion and aesthetics, culture/creativity, politics, migration/mobility, and interventions.
