This studio is designed with a focus on inculcating the culture of mapping and learning geovisualization. Specifically, the emphasis would be on understanding the basics of GIS and spatial databases to create meaningful maps for providing geospatial solutions to problems undefined issues and challenges. Geovisualization using vector and raster-based data models would be taught in depth. As a part of the studio, in order to facilitate the student’s ability to develop thematic geovisualization skills using GIS software a modular component on Introduction to GIS and cartography shall be covered. As a part of the studio, several interactions with experts both from industry and government will be carried out to understand and solve problems using geospatial technology. Towards the end, the students would be able to solve or propose probable spatial solutions.
