About this course
This course helps students to develop fluency and visual literacy in multimedia communication about the built environment and to master qualitative tools of place-based analysis and representation, including interviews, video editing, photography, digital cartography, and writing for non-expert and non-academic audiences. Informed by a deep dive into the history of mutual influence between documentary media and urban discourse over the past century, this course will expose students to the history and the vanguard of storytelling techniques and philosophies. This legacy is of growing importance as the worlds of media production and design increasingly converge. From new job opportunities for design and planning professionals to new expectations for business development, community engagement, and strategic communication, today?s urbanists must be critical storytellers.
