“It was incredibly rewarding to debate and discuss the projects with the students and witness the emphasis placed on creating livable, human-centric places and spaces with consideration to the wider context.” Richard Fenne
The ARC501 fall course has ended with a successful final review day. For the first time, at AUS, a design studio developed the work of a MUP (Master of Urban Planning) course conducted in a previous semester.
Moreover, for the first time, the whole class worked as a single team in defining a holistic and sustainable strategy for the regeneration of a large area of Sharjah. The prestigious invited critics highly commended the outcomes. I am very proud of my students. Well done guys!
