FALL 2020


With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, our cities today are facing a test of time for our preconceived assumptions in urban design of what constitutes home, and what constitutes a university. The lockdown is pushing our urban design tenets to rethink what is home, what is dwelling within the limitation of space. People use their extended balconies, roof spaces, entrance porches, people go out to jog and socialize at a social distance. A new norm of urban life is born. But also, a new conception to the bounds and territories of extension of what constitutes home. Home is becoming a territory of safety beyond the private property of a dwelling place. Home is epistemologically transformed to become more urban, and at the same time more nucleated.

Every citizen is constructing their own cognitive mapping of home based on safety as well as sociability. The urban common is becoming a home, a safe place to be there. This notion of reconfiguring the private and the public common of home is the aim of this semester’s studio. How can we imagine an urbanity of togetherness, spatial overlay, and an architecture of simultaneity? The way of learning is also changing, and so will the spatiality of universities. How will those spaces of enclosure transform with the new extended life, the urban common. How can the university’s spaces open up for better appropriation with the post-pandemic urban condition? For the extended new masterplan, how can we design buildings and connections with these new spatial assemblages of ‘to-

getherness’ and ‘caring’, of ‘safely connecting yet a distance’ for an exciting and enjoyable way of learning? What kind of hybrid departments and new schools can develop out of this ‘togetherness’? This semester is divided into two phases under the same theme of exploration – “the urbanity of togetherness.” During phase 1, we will explore its impact and re-imagine ‘my urban home’ and in phase 2, we will design the extended masterplan of AUC campus towards envisioning a different mode of urban-learning and urban collectivity.
