Architecture

The course introduces both traditional and modern mapping methods for analyzing and representing spatial environments. Students will explore space syntax approaches, as well as social and cultural mapping. The course covers experimental techniques such as data-driven mapping for urban analysis, narrative mapping, and artistic mapping. Through hands-on exercises, fieldwork, and digital tools, students will develop critical skills to understand spatial relationships and apply mapping techniques to architectural and urban planning projects.

The course aims to equip students with the ability to read, interpret, and create various types of maps (topographic, cultural, environmental, etc.) in urban and architectural design. It focuses on developing students' skills in analyzing spatial data to inform design and urban planning decisions, introducing data visualization software, and encouraging creative mapping approaches.
