Sensing the City New ways of understanding public space through photography, mapping, soundscapes, attachment, and feeling

Each time people move through their towns and cities, they are inundated by sensory input that shapes perceptions of place. This training event addresses these sensory elements since they play a key function in transforming the experiential qualities of spaces and in shaping the public realm, strengthening the connection between people and the place. Methods for studying the five senses of visual, touch, sound, smell, and taste as well as mapping, and participant observation will be covered.
