This transdisciplinary workshop looks at urban space as a dynamic process of spatial constructions, materialized in physical sites, reflected in social interactions, imageries and narratives. The workshop combines inputs of theory and practical exercises. In the lectures I will present examples of my research projects on public urban space in Mexico City, Hamburg and Istanbul. In the exercises participants learn about qualitative ethnographic methods (observations, mappings, soundscapes, etc.), which they will apply to their individual fieldwork projects. The workshop closes with a presentation and discussion on experiences and results.
