Imaging the City

04.Dec.2017 // “Imaging the City”
6:30pm // National Gallery of Canada

Evolving digital tools and technologies are transforming the ways we analyze, understand, design, and represent the urban realm. How do contemporary methods of visualization influence our relationship with the natural and built environments? And how might new ways of imaging the city invite broader participation in the conversations that will shape the future? Join us as we explore new dimensions of research and visualization in the fields of urbanism, landscape, and design. Presentations by invited speakers will be followed by a discussion panel, moderated by Stanley Leinwand of the NCC Urbanism Lab and Catherine Bonier of Carleton Urban Research Lab (c-url).

A Forum conversation presented in partnership with the NCC Urbanism Lab.
