Special Topics: Spatial Information Design (0-12-0) TR 10:30-12pm in E15-135

This project-based course will examine information design in the built environment. Topics will include digital facades, navigation and wayfinding systems, interactive installations, public, private and semi-private information displays and typographic systems. We will discuss the current state of information design and explore design that is aware of context and responsive, that simultaneously encompasses multiple displays and people, and that uses new technology to create fluid experiences with information. We will meet twice weekly and students will participate in a series of design exercises using the unfinished Fumihiko Maki-designed Media Lab extension as our subject environment.

First class is held this coming Tuesday, February 3.
