A Note from our Faculty Coordinator
Hello City Visionaries! Get ready for five weeks of immersive exploration in New York City, which will be our living laboratory. Through site visits, discussions, creative making, representation techniques, case studies, and collaborative inquiry, together we’ll investigate how cities are designed, shaped, and transformed.
More importantly, your task will be to imagine how they might become better.
Whether your interests lie in architecture, urbanism, art, design, real estate, policy, or you’re just curious about how cities work, City Visionaries will challenge, inspire, and expand your ways of seeing the world.
We cannot wait to begin this journey with you.
See you soon in New York!
