{"id":1102,"count":3,"description":"The MA Urban Design Autumn Studio is designed to with two purposes in mind: to introduce students to some basic aspects of the field of urban design, while simultaneously critiquing the field in order to move it forward by exploring more effective forms of practice. \n\nThe studio addressed the following critical questions through collective inquiry and interactive investigation:\n\n\u2022 How do we understand the basic elements and skills of the field of urban design? \n\u2022 What are the strengths and weaknesses of conventional urban design elements and skills? While conventional urban design deals with well-defined buildings, open spaces and infrastructures, in reality the city is filled with ambiguity and complexity [which, in fact, makes the city far more interesting than conventional thinking suggests].\n\u2022 How is urban design practiced? We studied the effectiveness of conventional urban design approaches, more recent cutting-edge techniques and truly radical and inventive approaches.\n\u2022 What is the relationship between urban design, housing and gentrification? We examined this relationship in the area of Grangetown in the city of Cardiff with a view to reframe the issue through deeper understanding, such that it can lead to transformative outcomes.\n\nThrough these questions and exercises, we continued to build upon the previous module, Urban Design Foundation, by gaining a better understanding of the field of urban design and its future potential.\n\nModule Leader: Prof. Aseem Inam","link":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/category\/pgr-2\/maud\/cardiff-gentrification\/","name":"Gentrification: Cardiff","slug":"cardiff-gentrification","taxonomy":"category","parent":1026,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/1102"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/1026"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=1102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
