Subject Overview: |
Travelling studios are working laboratories for planning and design thought and production and involve the exploration of complex, real-life issues. They expose students to unfamiliar cultures, places and people, and stimulate their ability to think creatively and solve problems. This studio, based at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, is intended to be an offshoot of a three year research project (2009-2012) called “Gender Inclusive Cities”, funded by the UN Trust Fund to Eliminate Violence Against Women. It will focus on the gendered use and perceptions of public space in both Australia and the international context. |
