Description —

This studio examines the infrastructure of the metropolis and its influence on urban form and development. Topics include systems for transportation, energy use, water distribution, civic institutions, spaces of social exchange, and ecology. Students develop urban infrastructure propositions with reference to innovative urban projects worldwide.

In 2020 we focused on food within the city—its production and its consumption. The studio considered the cultures, programs, and networks that have developed around the human need for food and carry out a design project to strengthen this infrastructure whilst enhancing the public realm within the city.
