Students learn to analyse and “decode” places at the city scale, seeking an understanding of how it is that some place names conjure particular images and associations. There is a specific consideration of film, maps, artwork, photography, literature and the role they play in creating ideas of place. This gives students an appreciation of how one can engage with a place remotely without experiencing it directly.

Students work on creating a multi-contributor journal and developing skills such as curation, editing, image/text relationship and graphic design.
