Urban Graphics 1 - The City Footprint

The course shows you how to create a figure-ground diagram (one of the simplest and most common diagrams used by built environment professionals, showing which land is covered by buildings and which is not). You use a figure-ground to analyse a place, or to explain the history of development in a compelling way. These diagrams are a highly effective way of showing simple patterns that lie behind urban complexity.
