URBAN DATA VISUALIZATION

The main objective of this course is to understand the urban environment from another point of view, using technology to be able to read all the layers of our public space and the connections with its users. Layers that are there, but we cannot always see. As architects, we will study the data that affects our way of moving in the city, our way of living. Data that help us to understand the present, to better shape the future of our cities.
