“Gone are the days when the only way to get a bird’s eye view of your favorite city was from the window of a penthouse apartment or helicopter. Now you can soar above the skyline by simply opening Google Earth on your desktop or mobile phone.”

The exercise quantifies and qualifies the city in new ways by asking students to apply these techniques to the design of a “real” site. Students will use aerial images of the typologies from Queens and/or the Metropolitan Area of Detroit, and manipulate and exploit the “reality” effects, to consider how residential, civic, commercial, and/or recreational programs might fit into your scheme. Three full color images will be produced at different scales.
