The Living City

The MSc2 elective 'The Living City' explores the intersections between architecture and everyday life through experimental methods of notation and visualization. The course locates architecture in the flows, rhythms, cycles and seasons of nature and human life. It explores the assemblage of urban places, the stories of buildings, the lives and flows of people, and the ecology of non-human species. You learn how to do anthropological fieldwork; to read, de-code and analyze a place, to observe people, buildings and spaces, and to translate your findings into visual scripts and movies. To make architecture move!
