This course introduces and critiques discourses, policies, and case examples of regional and global digital, ubiquitous, and smart city thinking and initiatives. This knowledge further informs an exploration of the application of computational thinking and methods to urban and spatial analysis, and the creation of design projects that adopt principles of physical computing, interaction design and human-machine interaction. The course culminates in the creation, construction, and presentation of interaction design proposals and working interaction design prototypes that engage sensing and actuating technologies.
