Elaboration for 2017 Iteration

Urban Design Project for 2017 is set within the context of the evolution and changing debate of Smart City design and planning. As technology evolves and more technology is implemented into cities we will continue to see an evolution from purely technology driven Smart Cities to the role that urban design plays to define a Smart City.
City making and planning has not radically changed for the past 100 years, the latest technology and infrastructure has is simply ‘plugged into’ the urban environment. The studio asks the broader question from an urban design point of view, what defines the urban environment within a Smart City? How will the technology advances that are being implemented today, impact on the Urban and Planning constructs and futures of our city? How does city planning, land use planning and regulations respond to this?
The world’s smart cities leading thinkers and disruptors generally remain silent on the question of how to deliver a smart city urban environment. This project will explore this very question at its core, of what is the urban design of a Smart City?

Course Learning Outcomes
Students succesfully completing this course should be able to:

1. Demonstrate an understanding of the various bio-physical, historical, political-economic, and social-cultural layers of the city, and work with these to form a consciously designed intervention.
2. Synthesise general theoretical models, analytical approaches to urban issues and contexts, technical knowledges, stakeholder interests and ethical frameworks, and individual vision into an integrated urban design proposition.
3. Articulate their stance and position as a designer within discourses of urbanism.
4. Demonstrate high quality communication, representation and visual skills appropriate to urban design projects, including written, verbal, graphical and model-based presentation.
5. Research and analyse information relevant to developing urban design interventions and propositions.
6. Demonstrate abilities in teamwork and time management for group and individual work.

This course is taught as a research design studio. Students and academic staff meet weekly and discuss progress in developing projects and accompanying assignments. Feedback from academic staff may be graphic, verbal or written. Guest lectures and reviews, and other forms of presentation may form part of the program, while the bulk of time is devoted to seminar-style small group learning. Seminars comprise discussion, one-to-one consultation and critique, and exercises supporting project development including group work. They will also require some presentation of group and individual work.
Students are required to maintain a sketchbook/journal for recording data, thoughts, notes, sketches, etc encountered and developed during the course. Review of these materials will be an important part of the weekly consultations with students to progress their work.
At this level of learning, peer review and commentary is encouraged as a valuable learning tool, both in offering comment on fellow-students’ work and in receiving and responding to comment on your own work.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements:
The University expects full鈥恡ime students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 6 unit course are expected to devote at the minimum 24 hours per week to contact activities and self鈥恎uided studies.
Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management:
Total workload hrs: 24 hours per wk x 14 wks (inc. of mid鈥恠emester break) = 336 hours
Total contact hours: 6 hours per week x 12 weeks = 72 hours鈥═otal self鈥恎uided study: 336 – 72 hours = 264 hours
These 264 hours should be used towards developing the design project and associated assignments of the course, including development of requisite research, knowledge, and skills. Please organise your time wisely!

Assessment	Type	Due Date	Weight	Course Learning Objectives
Task 1: Collective Model	Group	Week 3	5%	4,6
A1:Project Definition+Analysis	Group	Week 6	20%	1,5,6
A2:Concept Development	Individual	Week 9	30%	2,4
A3:Final Proposal	Individual	Week 13	40%	1,2,3,4,5,6
Participation+Engagement	Individual	Throughout	5%

The assignments that the course assessment is based on are described briefly below:

Task 1 “Collective Model” produces an overview physical model of the urban area under consideration, to be used both as a tool for shaping design iterations, and as aid to public presentation and exhibition.

Assignment 1 “Project Definition+Analysis” aims to clearly define the scope, parameters, and objectives for each urban “layer”, and research and analyse key site, context, stakeholder, and other relevant factors.

Assignment 2 “Concept Development” presents a specific and concrete design strategy, as a synthesis and response to the project agenda and site and contextual analysis. It is presented in the form of a “mid-review” in front of other students, academic staff, and where appropriate invited guests.

Assignment 3 “Final Proposal” elaborates and presents a resolved and coherent proposition that is the culmination of the project’s research, design concept, and progressive development and refinement. This is presented in person in a public performance, accompanied by graphic, textual, and where appropriate 3D representations of elements of the proposal.

Further details of assignments will be provided through MyUni and via email as the course progresses

General
Please adhere to submission deadlines and follow instructions provided. Where unspecified or in doubt, follow the submission procedures below.
All submissions must include Student Name and Student ID Number. Submissions without Student Name or ID Number may not be considered for marking and may receive zero marks in accordance with the guidelines.
Submissions delivery will be defined as part of the assignment specification. Unless otherwise specified, a digital submission to MyUni (usually in PDF format), as well as a paper submission will be required.
In addition, all paper assignments must have attached a signed and dated Assignment Cover Sheet. Please attach the cover sheet in front of the document, to the top left hand corner with a staple.
Students must not submit work for an assignment that has previously been submitted for this course or any other course without prior approval from the Course Coordinator.
On occasion, the lecturer/tutor may wish to retain students’ work for future reference and the relevant student(s) will be informed at such a time.

Early Submission
Where an early submission has been made, please inform the Course Coordinator or Tutor. There is an early submission box located on Level 4 which is cleared out daily at 10am. Please mark your submission clearly before placing in box.

Late Submission
In general, the school does not accept late submissions. In cases where a submission cannot be made by the due date, please refer to the policies and procedures detailed below relating to Resubmission and/or Modified Submission Arrangements due to medical or other extenuating circumstances.
Printing delays & hard disk crashes will not be entertained as legitimate causes for delay, so please ensure that the work is finished in advance.

Resubmission
The school has a resubmission policy whereby students can redeem failed work reâ聙聬submitting (for a maximum score of 50%).

Good Practice
Students should ensure that they regularly backup their work as hard disk crashes are an unfortunate reality. When relying on community printing facilities, students should attempt to finish their work in advance to avoid congestion and unnecessary delays.
Students must retain a copy (scan or photocopy) of all assignments submitted (digital or hardcopy) as originals have been known to go missing.
For modified arrangements of submission and assessment due to special circumstances see the following Assessment Task Extension(s) & Additional Assessment guidelines. These are outlined in the School of Architecture and Built Environment Student Handbook, at the link below:

Modified Submission Arrangements (General)
