Carlos Sandoval will join Temple University for a Lecture (3/21) and two Workshops (3/22-3/23) sharing his approach to computational design and data visualization related to urban environments. His Lecture “Painting with Data: Urban Models for Computational Design,” will discuss the development and application of a data-informed process in urban planning and design, reflecting on computational origins and his own work. He will lead two workshops that will focus on web-based geospatial data visualization and analysis. Participants will primarily work with “Painting with Data,” an open-source web-application that utilizes voxels and object-based code to create geo-spatial data representation. The workshops are open to faculty and students at all levels.

Carlos Sandoval is a PhD candidate in the Design and Computation Group and researcher in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at MIT. Previously, he was a researcher at UC Berkeley, investigating the convergence of spatial data and design of the built environment. Carlos has instructed classes at MIT, UC Berkeley, and UNAM, in addition to leading computational design seminars and workshops in the United States, Italy, China, and Mexico. His work has been supported by numerous fellowships, including the MIT Presidential Fellowship, the IDEA Studio Fellowship at Autodesk, the National Council of Science and Technology, and the Jumex Foundation for Contemporary Arts. 

The lecture and workshops are Co-sponsored by the Tyler School of Art Division of Architecture and the Digital Scholarship Center at Temple University Library. This event was made possible through the generous support of Temple University GAF Interdisciplinary Funds.
