CRP 5171
Visual Communication and Analysis in Urban Design: Software Training for Urban Designers

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

The core concept of this course is to provide a step-by-step introduction to utilizing design software to collect and analyze the complex GIS data for neighborhood-scale projects, and create diagrams, drawings, and maps for urban design/ planning practices. The students will be introduced to industry-standard programs including ArcGIS ArcMap/ StoryMaps, Adobe InDesign/ Illustrator/ Photoshop, Google Earth Pro, and Rhino 3D. This course is structured to support AAP NYC courses, especially NYC Studio (CRP 5173) and the NYC Workshop (CRP 5172). This hands-on software training will develop visual communication skills essential to successful urban planners/ designers by learning how to represent research findings and design ideas within multi-disciplinary team settings. This course introduces the extensive NYC resources such as open data portals, helpful websites for mapping, demographics, zoning and land use, infrastructure, community needs, development patterns, environmental reports, etc.

When Offered Fall.
