This course aims to address the encounter of a particular form of visual storytelling – documentary photography – with the understanding of space. Students will be introduced with photography as an apparatus to understand and tell the story of urban space. They will be asked to improve their observation skills, decide on the story they want to tell and find out the appropriate form of visual expression for their stories. The documentary photos will further be employed to organise an exhibition, which will be utilised to make students familiar with the design thinking approach.
