Urban Paradoxes: How to Explore Everyday Life, Online Course

 
 

Vector is an online school for people who want to change the urban environment around them. The school was founded at Strelka Institute of Media, Architecture, and Design. The first created online course for the platform was Urban Paradoxes: How to Explore Everyday Life. It consisted of five lessons with offline assignments, developed by three experts: the photographer and sociologist Charlie Koolhaas, Documentary filmmaker Marina Razbezhkina and architect Kuba Snopek. Each curator offers an exploration tool in order to see the “invisible” in the city and, possibly, find a niche for the project - photography, video, or mapping. At the end of the course, students are asked to write a longread, story to present the results of the research. The articles are then published on the Vector website, accessible to anyone, with or without a subscription.
