城市设计处于建筑与城市规划的交界处，这两个学科为城市设计理论和实践提供了互补但截然相反的方法。该硕士课程侧重于城市设计在城市规划背景下的作用，并重点介绍该学科的独特方法论，专业观点和教学方法。它提供以下方面的专业知识和技能：城市设计理论，城市保护，风险，适应力和可持续性，以及应用于建筑环境的社会科学研究方法。该计划将使毕业生能够作为跨学科团队的一员，通过城市设计创造更好的场所。学生还将有机会利用学校的研究经验，将设计放在解决一系列紧迫的环境和其他问题的中心位置。
Urban design lies at the interface of architecture and urban planning, with both disciplines contributing complementary but contrasting approaches to urban design theory and practice. The delivery of this master's programme draws on the distinct methodologies, professional perspectives and pedagogies of both urban planning and architectural disciplinary areas within the school. It provides specialist knowledge and skills in urban design theory and practice, urban conservation; nature-based solutions, and the relationship between research and design.The programme will enable graduates to work as part of a multidisciplinary team to create better places through urban design. Students will also have the opportunity to draw upon the Schools research expertise to place urban design centre stage in tackling a range of pressing environmental and other issues. The programme will appeal to graduates from closely related disciplinary backgrounds wishing to specialise in urban design, including those with qualifications in architecture, landscape architecture, and planning.Applications will also be considered from graduates with other related disciplinary backgrounds e.g. geography, engineering, property economics, surveying where the applicant has a particular interest the specialist area of urban design as opposed to planning more broadly.The UCD School of Architecture, Planning Environmental Policy has an established international track record as a leading research centre in spatial planning. The School is a member of the Association of European Schools of Planning.DURATION:1 YearsNEXT INTAKE:20242025 September
