DATA VISUALIZATION

a lecture by Covadonga Lorenzo Cueva
Master Urban Interior Design

The lecture was focused on the use of Data Visualization for the representation of the urban environment. Based on Kevin Lynch Theory of Good City form, it deals not only with the representation of urban physical features (the morphology of the city), but with the city sense, a concept introduced by Lynch in “The idea of the city”, related to explore a sort of connections hidden beyond the evidence (as identity, structure, meaning, transparency, congruence or legibility) that organize complex urban environments. Data visualization allows to develop diagrammatic representations to describe and unveil all those non tangible connections.
