2016 The City Shaped: Interpreting Urban Landscapes in Central ItalyCities are complex entities that tell stories, however, few of us know how to interpret them. This course explores how the transformation of urban landscapes over time and space can be understood as well as identifies the various concepts, methods and theories that contextualise these transformative processes. Students will be provided with the tools necessary to observe, analyse and interpret urban landscapes in a historical and contemporary context. By considering urban form as a receptacle of meaning, the rituals of everyday life, and the vagaries of history, students will gain an understanding of the forces that have shaped and still shape our cities today.
