The Master of Architectural Studies in Urban Design encourages creative exploration of the complex interrelationships between people and and urban spaces. Students will consider the daily activities of citizens in designing settings for joyful urban life – with Glasgow as a location rich for student investigations.
Teaching on the programme balances theoretical and practical knowledge in Urban Design. Underpinned by the theory of Urban Morphology (Kropf, Moudon, Tarbett ), the programme provides students with a consistent approach to the description of urban form and associated open spaces. Alongside this, Urban Design considers the masterplan – for new streets, open spaces, neighbourhoods and districts of the future — as an artistic creation, with more or less detailed design prescriptions or ‘urban rules’.
