Description
Join us for an inspiring online webinar: Drawing Cities with Many Hands: Mixing Skills to Make Places
This seminar explores how collaborative design approaches and interdisciplinary tools are shaping new directions in urban design practice.
Drawing from recent urban design and research explorations, the lecture showcases student-generated work that applies advanced design tools and technologies to propose more adaptive and inclusive urban environments. The lecture also touches on questions of agency, who contributes to, and who ultimately governs, the shaping of the city.
