Course programme

The course will focus on three key issues:

  • Selecting sites and creating partnerships and long-term relationships between universities and other urban actors, e.g. city councils, businesses and community stakeholder groups
  • Universities as clients: visioning processes and briefing masterplanners and architectural consultants; academics and students as key stakeholder groups in university development
  • University space: what kinds of buildings and spaces do universities need, and how do they form connections with the wider urban environment?
Structure

The course combines lectures, discussion and individual and group exercises, as well as a site visit.

Case studies will be used to illustrate general principles and introduce innovative ideas.
