Abstract

The focus in our elective course for Master Students of Architecture is the fol-lowing: in parallel to a more traditional way of analysing urban structures, how can the application of multimedia technology, networking and the integration of interactive computer applications lead to a different approach?The objective of our teaching and research project is to find out in what ways urban structure and specific features of a city can be represented by
interactive interfaces and the use of CNC technology. Our attitude is based on
small-scale ap-proach: the sum of these microanalyses gives us the broader
picture, the system or mechanisms of the city. We do not dive into the city but
emerge from it. This reflec-tion leads to a new understanding in the organisation of complex urban structures, highlighting and revealing different connections and relationships, thus giving a different final image.
