752. (ARCH752, CPLN760) Case Studies in Urban Design. (B) Hack. Through three case studies and a final project this course explains several fundamentally different ways in which the urban design process is realized in this country: The campus as historical prototype and contemporary paradigm; the new community both modernist and neo-traditionalist; expansion/re-location of the CBD; and urban/suburban in-fill. Particular emphasis is placed on the roles of planning, historic preservation and landscape architecture in the practice of urban design.
