48-753   Intro to Urban Design Media

This course explores new forms of media and representation in Urban Design. The seminar is a project-based course consisting of bi-weekly exercises and reading assignments. Students will adopt their own hometown as the primary site for their analysis and representation. Throughout the semester, students are tasked with identifying a specific subject unique to their site of inquiry. They will then analyze, interpret, and re-represent their subject through a variety of media, including collages, maps, images, renders, matrices, animated GIFs, and AI-generated imagery. Consideration will be given to drawing/image quality, technique, and aesthetics.
