Description

Course overview
The urban spaces we have created tell about our society - as our societal values change with time, so these spaces change to adapt to new functions, peoples, technology and ideas. Being able to read the space is complex and it is a critical aspect to investigate for anyone involved with any form of urban intervention. This course explores the relationship between the spaces we have created and what these spaces tell about ourselves.
The course will focus on interpreting and understanding our relationship with the spaces we have created “urban spaces”. The relationship is based on the degree of our interventions, the reasons for them, our own interpretations and their functions in their current form.
By being able to interpret these spaces we will be better positioned to make proposals that respond to the reality of the place, whether the response is defiant or accommodating.
