Additional information of course implementation

This workshop uses location-based social media data to unveil, map and study the metaMorphology of the city. Participants will use large datasets from Instagram, Twitter and Airbnb to find meta-trends to map activity patterns using geographic information software and image analysis. Nine speakers will enrich the seminar series and six hands-on workshops will present the techniques used by the research industry to study the interactions between people and the city. The Lab will explore the relations between urban amenities and the image of place to gain a new understanding the qualitative aspects of social practices and the narrative of urban spaces. Linked to ongoing research projects and international collaborations, Tampere University of Technology organizes this international summer school to present advanced social media analysis, cutting edge visual representation of GIS data and crash intro into Lev Manovich cultural analytics applied to place making.
