Course Objectives
Following our commitment to reach the whole through parts the studio is following the principles set in Planning Studio III. We are moving from neighbourhood to group of neighbourhoods and than to districts. 1/5000 scale can define this best as a starting point. When we advance further we start to cover Batıkent District with its relationship to urban macroform. We investigate inter urban, intra urban and urban rural relationships. 1/25.000 scale plan fits well to discover such relationships. At the final stage we will position Batıeknt in a much wider context. While discussions will focus on reginal, national and international relationships their reflection on Ankara and Batıkent will define our concentration point. We will utilise schematical represeentational techniques to respond requirements of spatial strategic plan.
Course Content
The planning studio course continues to explore part-whole relationship, extending from neighbourhood scale to the urban-regional scale, building upon the foundations set in Planning Studio III. It begins with the development of 1/5000 scale plans covering a broader part of the city. Students start to deal with a different abstraction level by moving from structures to land-uses. Central to the course is the interplay between land-uses and the transportation system that links them, Throughout the planning process, decisions are made based on policies and are realized through spatial strategies and implementation opportunities, Students will learn to:
Develop decisions based on relationship with different land-uses;
Utilise varying abstraction levels appropriate to each scale;
Conduct spatial analysis using written and numerical data;
Formulate visions, policies, strategies, and targets, and spatially represent them on urban development plans.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course the students will
- further understand the concept of plan hierarchy and representation of plan decisions at different scales.
- notice the interplay between population distribution, urban functions and transportation
- learn to conduct basic level urban and regional analysis with spatialised data
- recognise inter urban, intra urban and urban-rural relationships
