Mapping Cultures

As a workshop tutor for 'Architecture, Culture, and Environment', I taught a unique mapping approach representing structure as an outcome of cultural and environmental conditions. The subject integrated architectural history and theory with cultural and environmental concepts. It focused on how these values influenced environmental, social, and architectural advancements, and how value systems and ethical stances affected ecological impact. We used bitmap, vector, and hybrid drawing techniques to understand and express how space was used. After three workshops, students created images reflecting their investigations into allocated architectural precedents.
