To elaborate, urban environment is an ensemble of people, environment, culture, material and many experiences. To comprehend the dynamic complexity of a place requires understanding of variety of layers at different scales, times, and ways. A city is much more than the form it embodies and there are many questions about organic dynamics of how a city lives, how natural patterns of community agglomeration occur, how vendor define zone and order, how a particular culture projects itself onto a space. This is a part of inquiry and learning that is the premise of the course with emphasis on field mapping, analysis and representation drawings.
