UT 202, Section 1

This course recognizes urban technology as an important form of cultural production, for which context is enactive, in a mix of cognitive, social, and spatial factors. The course sequence explores a spectrum of physical scale, from citywide to neighborhood, street, building, object, and body, interpreting technologies past, present, and near-future at each of those. Working in response to fast case study talks and a short set of key readings, students create monthly poster projects, keep weekly journals, and swap thoughts in breakouts at each session. Together these cultivate ability not only to find but also to switch points of view.
