The module focuses on a number of issues in the cultural and intellectual history of the period, as researchers lead sessions demonstrating how the relationship between theory and archival research can result in new insights into the early modern as a critical concept. Field trips which facilitate engagement with material forms and physical practice in the period include the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal Society Library (when possible).

The purpose of this module is to give a grounding in the understanding of relationships between urban form and formation: how insights from urban morphology and morphogenetic processes that created existing urban form can better inform the creation of future urban form through planning, design and more informal urbanism.
This involves study of different urban form components and patterns at different scales – buildings, spaces, streets and districts – and how these are created in relation to each other to generate overall urban form.
The module involves a combination of creativity and focused enquiry. It allows you to explore and research the creation of urban form and then go on to apply insights from this in relation to planning and design interventions.
This module is set up in a way to encourage interactivity – for students to learn from each other – through group working, interactive class discussions, presentation and feedback. As such, all students are expected to learn from all sessions.
The module comprises five lectures covering the understanding of urban form and formation, and five project studio tutorial sessions applying understanding to proposals for an urban site.
