Distributed design studio

This evaluation project was associated with the Joint Urban Design Studio, working with the Martin Centre for architectural research and the MIT Urban Design Studio. Funded by the Cambridge-MIT Institute, this project explored the use of technology to teach a single course in Urban Design, spanning geographic locations as well as disciplines. Seminars were taught by video-conference link between the Cambridge and MIT departments, and design project teams were composed of students mixed between the two locations.
