Referred to as the 'Urban Heart Surgery', 1st semester of 4th year studio is a design based research forum, which is carefully steered to produce a large range of generic urban design scenarios. The subject allows students to engage in critical discourse by working on high profile strategic planning and design issues in three areas critical to Victoria's future growth: Metropolitan Urbanism, Urbanism on the periphery and Regional Urbanism.

GERONIMO

The Geronimo team was first developed by John Rollo in 2001 at Deakin University. It is an intensive think-tank working group consisting of one coordinator and between three and six participants. It draws on a range of brainstorming techniques and is divided into a prolific 4 part process: ideation, schema categorisation, concept development and representation. The innaugural Geronimo workshop was conducted in October 2001 with the launch of the then Department of Infrastructure's Western Wedge Project in Geelong.
