The Greater Bay Areaex Spring School - 3.0 formulates strategies and critical interventions for the GBA. For the third year running, the methodological approach aims to maximise strategic potentials and urban differentiation within this very large urban-agglomeration field. This builds on design-research of the Master of Design Urban Environments Design’s Systems and Strategies Studio, which emphasises planning principles through testing and scenarios development of planning models. Each model explores a speculative framework that challenges regional planning, whilst raising critical debates at levels of development, territorial scales, settlement morphologies and economic characteristics particular to the GBA.
Colloquia, lectures and round table discussions provide inputs and feedback to the development of critical frameworks that are tested in public presentations. This will contribute to a body of work on the GBA, and will be published and exhibited locally and internationally.
