Focus Area
Representation
In an age of image and information overabundance, processes of representation in the evolution of design work and its communication to specific audiences have become increasingly complex. Supported by Taubman College’s TVLab, faculty offer courses that focus on the production and discursive capacity of images in a post-digital world, the telemetric quality of the architect’s tools, and hybrid forms of image-making that convey observations and ideas about objects and space into visual media.
