About
The AUDA-IUD program aims to introduce Urban Design as an academic discourse to students and recent graduates of Architecture by briefly outlining concepts of Urban Design and it's interwoven premises with the physical, socio-economical, environmental and political fabric of a city. The sessions are structured to inform students in the coordinated learning of concepts, approaches, expressions, research techniques, and representational strategies of the pedagogy and practice of Urban Design. The program is further designed to assist students with a more profound understanding of the academic and professional possibilities ahead and the choices they can make.
Although, the program is designed for undergraduate students and college graduates of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design, and Planning, we welcome students from all backgrounds who want to explore the myriad possibilities.
