About
The Intro to Digital Techniques in Urban Design program aims to introduce contemporary representational techniques for urban design. It helps to understand how urban designers think, work, and communicate. The primary role of this program is to provide an entry point into digital software that explores innovative approaches for urban design. Participants learn the basics of geographic information systems, 3d modeling and video making programs while gaining experience with efficient cross-platform workflows for collaboration. The program accommodates beginners and individuals with low digital skills.
By combining the conventions of representational techniques, participants are offered opportunities to discover the value of spatial data exploration and analysis (GIS); descriptive and generative 3d modeling (Rhino, Grasshopper) and multimedia storytelling with motion graphics compiled as video (After Effects) into new constructs for envisioning urban space. The instruction and use of multiple formats broadens possibilities for idea creation, development and articulation.
