Course Details

Master of Science in Urban Design

Course Description

The 33 credit, three-semester, fully encapsulated, ( Fall, Spring, Summer — Brooklyn campus only) post-professional program aims to expand a student’s previously established professional education by imbuing them with the disciplinary and technical precision to engage in evolving forms of advanced design research, thinking, and practice. Its specific focus is on the multifaceted reformulation of Architectural Context; an area of research that explores the ways in which urban design activates context and 21st century cities as they become increasingly more populated and dense, as they grow inward and accumulate on top of themselves to conserve resources; cultural, economical, and ecological. The program centers on cultivating an understanding of architecture and context as that which is fundamentally premised on the design of urban qualities for a dense city. The curriculum embraces an intertwining of architectural design, landscape architecture, urban design, interior design, and architectural/urban conservation.
