Emerging Urban Futures in Land Water Infrastructure documents the partnership between Columbia University and the University of Queensland that produced four years of student work in architecture, urban design, and urban planning in Brisbane and the surrounding areas. This book is an archive of the resulting site research, design proposals, and relevant case studies, which is designed to serve as a comparative study of different teaching methods for post-professional studies in architecture and urban design.  The publication includes selected projects from both universities and articles by prominent thinkers and design practitioners on large-scale environmental design-related issues and pedagogies in our educational systems.

THIS PUBLICATION WILL BE LAUNCHED BY

John Frazer, Head of School of Design, Queensland University of Technology
