Visualising Climate-Resilient Urban Design
Description
How can illustration help us imagine and communicate more sustainable futures? This summer school invites students and professionals from design, illustration and related creative fields to explore drawing as a tool for visual storytelling about climate resilience in cities.
Together, we explore how artistic practice can bridge knowledge and imagination, and how visual storytelling contributes to building awareness and resilience.
Program
How can illustration help us imagine and communicate more sustainable futures? This summer school invites students and professionals from design, illustration and related creative fields to explore drawing as a tool for visual storytelling about climate resilience in cities.
Through lectures, site visits and hands-on workshops, you will experiment with techniques ranging from quick ink sketches to watercolour and digital tools. Illustration becomes more than representation: it is a way to translate complex ecological challenges into clear, evocative images that inspire dialogue.
While the focus is grounded in urban environments and spatial design, the methods are relevant to a broad community of illustrators, designers and visual communicators. Together, we explore how artistic practice can bridge knowledge and imagination, and how visual storytelling contributes to building awareness and resilience.
