DESI 4050
Spring 2003 (William Conway)


One part of the Design Institute's year-long mapping theme was the development of a course for undergraduates in the Design Minor that would introduce alternative cartographic practices, especially as they relate to the ways in which cities are described and transformed. I spent Fall 2002 as a research assistant to William Conway and it was that collaboration that shaped DESI 4050: Map City.

The course was made available in Spring 2003 and I was the Teaching Assistant to Professor Conway. Throughout the semester, I was given the opportunity to develop course assignments that had taken initial shape the previous semester. The following pages describe each assignment, pairing them with an example of student work.
