{"ModuleCode":"GEM2909X","ModuleTitle":"Asia Now! The Archaeology of the Future City","Department":"Tembusu College","ModuleDescription":"This module concentrates on the Asian built environment – architecture, urban planning, and sustainability – using the city-state of Singapore as a laboratory. Field trips to urban sites in Singapore will be interspersed with discussions and readings that offer in-depth, analytical, critical, and alternative perspectives on Asian urbanism. Regular sessions will be supplemented by evening plenaries engaging prominent policy-makers and an evening documentary film screening on societies and urban spaces in Asia. Students will come away with a deeper understanding of challenges facing a rapidlyurbanizing Asia, and some of the solutions being worked out in Singapore and elsewhere in the region.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"3-6-0-8-23","Prerequisite":"This programme is open to students from participating IARU universities and Tembusu College’s partner colleges. NUS undergraduates should have a minimum CAP of 3.0 on a 5-point scale. Non-NUS students will be assessed based on recruitment criteria and procedures administered by each participating residential college/university in consultation with NUS Tembusu College. Students need to have interest in urban Asia, but there is no requirement to have prior background in Asia, Asian Studies, or Asian languages. Ideally, students in this class will be in their second or third year of a four-year undergraduate program, but in general we will accept undergraduates at any level.","Types":["GEM"],"Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Monday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR5"},{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Tuesday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR5"},{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR5"},{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Thursday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR5"},{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Friday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR5"},{"ClassNo":"2","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Monday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR6"},{"ClassNo":"2","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Tuesday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR6"},{"ClassNo":"2","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR6"},{"ClassNo":"2","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Thursday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR6"},{"ClassNo":"2","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Friday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1300","Venue":"TC-SR6"}],"LecturePeriods":["Monday Morning","Tuesday Morning","Wednesday Morning","Thursday Morning","Friday Morning"]}
