Urbanism
The Urbanism Concentration explores the impact of architectural design on the historical, social, cultural, political, economic, technological, and physical transformations in cities and their effects on urban habitation.
An image from the “Barcelona, Metropolis of Cities” traveling exhibition (2017), curated by Professor Joan Busquets of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and designed and installed at the School of Architecture by Associate Professor Sara Bartumeus Ferré.
Program Area Studios
