    Today creative mapping is being discussed and applied in a wide spectrum of fields including literature and cinema besides architecture and planning. In the context of cities, mapping emerges as an agent for both the revelation and the re-conceptualisation of urban space. Considering also its role in determining the context and the concept, and thus in preparing for decision upon space, mapping inevitably emerges as ‘design’.

    The course involves architectural and urban design in complex urban environments using mapping techniques. Readings and discussion on examples from the world are included for introducing the theory and the role / use of mapping in architectural and urban design. Students are expected to use and develop mapping techniques and apply them as means and medium of designing (in) the contemporary city.
