architecture and retail space today. Investigations will extend form markets,

and transactions. This is a research-based seminar with an emphasis on
communication and iformation design. Research gathered by individual students
will be structured through drawing and writing assignments, to be presented in
graphic form. The collective outcome will be the production of a document.
Students will be asked to cross-reference and index the collective bodies of
research in an opportunistic manner. The seminar will not attempt to be
conclusive or definitive, but will be valuable in the potentials, the dilemmas,
and the question it raises, and in the development of informed and productive
mehtods of working.
