DESCRIPTION

We are used to living in cities, but we often fail to see the cities we live in. The “Art of Seeing” course will enable participants to take a new look at their urban environment.

The course’s syllabus includes a study of Vitruvius’ three classical principles of architecture (utility, durability, and beauty) and their altered meaning in the contemporary world; major architectural styles; modern-day architecture and urban planning; and many other subjects. The wealth of theoretical materials is complemented by creative assignments.
