Data Vis-a-Vis The City by Ahmad Barclay and Joumana Ibrahim

Workshop

DATA VIS-A-VIS THE CITY

BY AHMAD BARCLAY & JOUMANA IBRAHIM

This hands-on workshop is for anyone with an interest in data visualization and in cities. No previous experience of data or design required. Participants will get a crash course in data-driven visual storytelling, collect data from the city around them, and have a go at telling their own visual stories.

We will first start with an introduction to data visualization, exploring questions like what is data? how do we collect and organize it? how to best represent it to communicate our message?

Participants will then be collecting their data, and working on a specific theme that will be shared during the workshop. They will analyze their findings, and create one or a series of visuals that help communicate their theme.
