教育目標

This module aims to provide an inclusive Asian urbanism framework to the understanding of urban design and environmental form from the syncretic urban morphology perspective. It is useful not only for the explanation of historical roots and representation of urbanism and heritage of the contemporary, but also for meaningful spatial interventions in the future. This module introduces combined modes of urbanism and city design enquiries based on theoretical structure of knowledge (2012, Chiu). Syncretic Urban Morphology (SUM) framed in hybrid tangible-intangible rationality of layered histories, transformations and developmental aspects of the meanings of urban form will be focused. SUM process aims to combine cultural theories in cities, urban planning theories, urban form and hitory, environmental studies, architecture theory, urban geography, urban sociology, spatial system design, architectural anthropology, ethnology, and archaeology interdiscipinarily. Such an approach is necessary to decode embedded and subjugated morphological elements of urbanism and urban form history and hence better understood the structure of knowledge of any city. Module objectives include the followings: 1. Students will learn to deepen thoughts involving inclusive Asian city origin(s) and analytical epistemology; 2. Students will learn to articulate Urban Morphology and stay connected a hybrid pedagogy that apply in the local context connected with worldly urban form history; 3. Students will learn to formulate their own syncretic morphological framework for conducting independent studies. This may also include architectural and urban form history, environmentally sustainable urban form and ancient urbanism.
