Planning with Maps

In this course we will explore how maps are used to plan spatial configurations that serve human purposes. Through lectures and readings, we will review ways that geographers, architects, and planners have represented the form and human use of space across scales. Using the Middlebury Campus and Village as case studies, students will work independently and in small groups to assess planned spaces with maps, photographs, activity diaries, and personal interviews. 3 hrs. lect.
