I will do a two day Lecture & Workshop on the design of complex networks at The University of Pennsylvania School of Design on March 30th – 31st, 2012.
The workshop will focus on the design of large scale networks as a creative activity and expanding the individual’s thinking about the network as a creative medium. Starting from hand drawn simple graph models, participants gradually build complex network diagrams. Emphasis on network mapping, modeling, analysis, relational thinking, centrality, clustering analysis, and information design. Participants learn the most through observing and extracting networks from their area of interests, collaborative mapping, sketching, and discussing diagrams.
We use Graph Commons at the workshops for visualization, group collaboration, and further sharing.
