Cleveland State University
Urban Design Seminar – Graduate Level - PDD 608

Co-taught with architect Sally Levine

This course was taught to graduate urban planning students in a program that emphasizes public policy. Although the students were advanced, most did not have previous training in graphic communication. Teaching this portion was my primary role. I taught both freehand and computer methods, utilizing SketchUp and Photoshop. I also gave a tour and history of the Cleveland Flats district. Ms. Levine taught the urban design portions, providing students with opportunities to experience, interpret, and analyze public spaces, and compare their experiences with established urban design theory. The students brought their newfound urban design skills together with new graphic abilities to present final urban intervention projects in the Cleveland area.

Urban strategies for Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood by student John Vitou are shown here.
