The introductory practicum is a workshop-based studio that introduces students to skills, techniques, methods, for coming to know the city. Design here is a means to develop/explore/become familiar with the tools, skills, approaches and capacities that will form the basis for subsequent studio work. Urban systems are introduced through design modules and attendant skills: Mapping Urban Knowledges (creative engagement with urban systems); Engaging Urban Knowledges (introduction to engaging communities); Projecting Urban Knowledges (future planning/scenario building).
