On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

There is no prescribed reader or course pack for this course, but specific readings and other materials may be assigned and/or made available through MyUni. Students are also expected to be able to independently research relevant readings and materials while working on their projects, drawing on the collections in the Barr-Smith library, the State Library of South Australia, the City of Adelaide archives, as well as other local or specialist collections where warranted.

Relevant readings and other recommended resources, including online materials and digital tools, will also be developed progressively over the course of the semester and posted to MyUni.

Students are encouraged to take an active interest in the research activities of the department, including the programs of CAMEA and CASRU, as well as the Speaker Series talks and other occasional events.

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 University expects fulltime 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-guided studies.

Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management:

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!

As the capstone project for Masters students of Urban Design, this course provides the opportunity for students to advance their own project and agenda, and each student is invited to pursue their own self-defined project if they wish. However, each year a specific theme is also given, which students may also follow. This year the overall theme is given below:

Elaboration for 2020: “Re-thinking the Urban Village
In 2020 the Urban Design Project course aims to shape, visualise and re-imagine the urban future for a key part of metropolitan Adelaide and provide an exemplar benchmark to consider and provide solutions to solve real world complicated city making and planning issues.

The Urban Villiage approach to city planning is not new, with its roots embedded within the principals of New Urbanism, nor is Adelaide’s application of this city planning approach to multiple metropolitan precincts. Given the current post-pandemic environment city planning leaders confront, the ideologies underpinning Urban Villages is once again being re-emphasized as frameworks for future city growth, sustainability, affordability and livability.

This studio will unpack the historical principles of planning philosophies for Urban Villages, review and analysis their success within Australian cities and propose how these ideas can be reconsidered and applied to real world design challenges within an Adelaide context.

What does the successful urban village of the future look like?
“ In the future, we see neighborhood hubs and urban villages where people are out of their cars, using the streets and sidewalks. Thriving stores, restaurants and services are clustered next to public open spaces that attract people at all times of day. Public transit has become more comfortable, more frequent and faster, and the streets have been reshaped around people walking, biking and using scooters, rather than around cars. As a result, streets are quieter, greener and safer. The familiar landscape of postwar single-family homes is still here, but now there’s something to walk to.”

Reference: Kristy Wang, SPUR, Whitepaper November 2019, ‘It Takes a Village, Strategies for successful implementation of San Jose’s urban village vision’.

Students will be asked to consider two key precinct inner metropolitan sites, one within the City of Unley and the other within the City of Prospect. Both precincts are currently under consideration by the State Planning Commission and Government Renewal Authorities and students will have the opportunity to explore and challenge urban design and planning solutions within this context of how to influence the new State-wide Planning scheme and structure plans for the precincts.

The resulting projects will constitute a range of propositions for an alternative, adjusted, or augmented planning design solutions, underpinned by new approaches for Urban Villages.

The final project will be advanced through three core assessment tasks. These are structured to analyse, design and refine the urban design outcome through Project Analysis + Definition (Assignment 1), Concept Development (Assignment 2) and the Final Proposal (Assignment 3). These three assignments constitute 90% of the course assessment.

In addition, there is also a participation and engagement component worth 10% of the total mark.

Assessment in this course is a combination of group and individual assessment. Group work consists of collaborating to define the scope and agenda related to specific sites (Assignment 1). A summary of assessments and submission deadlines are given below. Assignment specifications and specific assessment criteria will be announced progressively throughout the course in Assignment Specification sheets, and will be elaborated in lectures and tutorials.

Assessment Task	Task Type	Weighting	Due	Learning Outcome
Task 1: “Precinct Model”	Group	5%	Week 3	4,6
Assignment 1: “Project Analysis + Definition”	Group	20%	Week 6	1,5,6
Assignment 2: “Concept Development”	Individual	30%	Week 9	2,4
Assignment 3: “Final Proposal”	Individual	40%	Week 13	1-6
Participation+Engagement	Individual	5%	Throughout
Total		100%

As this course is based on small-group discussion and consultation, attendance at meetings is crucial to succeed. Activate engagement and participation in meetings is monitored and contributes to the participation mark.

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

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

• Assignment 1 “Project Analysis + Definition”, aims to clearly define the scope, parameters, and objectives for each urban “layer” and research and analyse key site, context, stakeholder, and other relevant data. Clearly define the scope, parameters and objectives of an overall project agenda for the precinct.

• Assignment 2 “Concept Development”, presents a specific and developed design strategy, as a synthesis and response to the project agenda, 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
