COR 3860 STRUCTURE AND DESIGN: CITIES AND STORIES
Storytelling is one of the most universal forms of communication. We use story to make sense of our world and to construct it in every discipline and in every part of our lives. This class invites students to explore how a city tells a story through its art, architecture, green spaces, and transportation systems. At the same time as we explore the physical structures that shape a city, we will look at the ways poets, essayists, journalists, short story writers, and novelists have used story to create the city. Since this section of the course is offered as part of the London Centre, we will be focusing on the stories of London. This course is writing intensive. Open to students in their third or fourth year of study.
