Channel: Dezign Ark
Date: 16/07/2019

This course explores photography as a disciplined way of seeing or investigating urban landscapes, and expressing ideas. Readings, observations, and photographs form the basis of discussions on light, detail, place, poetics, narrative, and how photography can inform design and planning.

During the Spring 2006 offering of this course, there were eight guest lectures as part of a lecture series associated with the course, sponsored by the City Design and Development Program in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning. These lecture videos continue to be relevant to the course, and are presented below.
