{"c_title":"[M2968.001400] City Design Practice Seminar","c_info":"3 credits | Lecture\/Seminar | Master | Dept. of Landscape Architecture","c_summary":"Urban design is a key attribute that has helped guide the city making process. The premise of the seminar is that cities are shaped by and in turn influence many forces: ecology, economy, transportation, technology, history\/culture, and health\/wellbeing. These forces have influenced urban designers to reinvent the way people live, work, and play in cities by adapting to changing environment and technology. City Design Practice is a seminar to investigate projects and trends in urban design around the world. The seminar is consisted of two parts. First half of the course will begin with discussion around classic and contemporary theories of urban design and invite various experts from domestic and international practices to present and discuss their projects and ideas. The second half is consisted of cross-country comparisons of the historic and new cities, in which students will gain theoretical and practical knowledge of city designs in relationship to built- and natural-form and the city design process from conceptualization to implementation."}
