Abstract
Despite the recent resurgence of research on the use of geographical urban morphology in planning and urban design practice, the exploration of urban morphology for pedagogical purposes in urban design has been slow to develop. The application of urban morphology to an urban design studio focuses on the urban waterfront redevelopment in Auckland, New Zealand. A field-based active learning process supports the characterization of the waterfront landscape forms and the assessment of their socio-economic consequences. Urban design guidelines and conceptual development plans prepared by students aim to contribute to maintaining and improving urban waterfront history, cultural tradition and identity.
