- 3. Course Learning Objectives: • The course aims to introduce students to urban design to the natural and built environments and enhancing the students' ability to apply different approaches of urban design in the Egyptian environmental context. The course discusses the urban design definition, its relationship to planning and architectural design theories in addition to the other approaches and concept of urban design regarding the culture and natural environment as the basis of the urban design principles. It discusses the special morphology in cities throughout illustrating their character, elements, perception, and its natural and cultural composition determinacy while understanding the urban design and context, its framework for the city, which includes the composition elements and the basics of urban design as a tool for urban development. Students will also be able to conduct site analysis which includes studying natural, visual and cultural dimensions in addition to the variables, elements and effects of the site. It also includes a study for influence of nature in the design from functional and visual points of view, in addition to illustrating the landscape and its uses for achieving the ecological balance students will gain the knowledge of the vocabulary, design elements, and the natural and built sites formation and conducting a practical urban design project Lecture (1) ARCN423: Urban Design
- 4. Program Competencies served by the course • Produce designs that meet building users’ requirements through understanding the relationship between people and buildings, and between buildings and their environment; and the need to relate buildings and the spaces between them to human needs and scale. • Generate ecologically responsible, environmental conservation and rehabilitation designs; through understanding of structural design, construction, technology, and engineering problems associated with building designs. • Apply technological standardization concepts for building construction, urban and regional planning with acceptable quality integration with economic, social, technical, and needs for all stakeholders. Lecture (1) ARCN423: Urban Design
- 5. Program Learning Outcomes served by the course By the end of this course the student will be able to • Identify the meaning of urban design based on the application of urban design concepts and theories . • List the urban design elements in designing urban projects . • Define Sustainable urban approach. • Survey the suggested site to be designed. • Analyse the site through project studies such as) climatic studies - site studies.... ) • Create their own alternative urban spaces in large scale sites

- 11. • Relates to single building • Insists on function of one building(residential – commercial –…) • Form of one building (colors – materials….) • No focus on spaces between buildings or other buildings What is Architectural Design ?
- 12. What’s UP?Taking a Look at Urban Planning • Layout of neighbourhoods, cities and regions Fulfilling needs of community & economy • Balancing the built & natural environ • Organizes the physical components of the city • Deals with functional relationships between the elements of the city uses of the buildings- streets- transportation - infrastructure…. • focus on function not on aesthetic
- 14. So, there is a need to an intermediat e scale
- 15. WHAT IS URBAN DESIGN? • Art of Making Places for People • Human Interaction with the environment • Involves places such as Squares, Piazza, Streets, Pedestrian Precinct Urban design is concerned with the arrangement, appearance and function of our suburbs, towns and cities. u It is both a process and an outcome of creating localitiesin which people live, engage with each other, and engage with the physical place around them. Deals with groups of buildings and the urban spaces between these buildings
