As a program assistant in the Architecture & Design department at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad, I had the opportunity to lead American students in several drawing workshops.

The workshops were designed as mapping exercises in public space, but the focus was shifted to the elements that are more difficult to represent in normal planimetric representations of a territory. Here, the students used overlapping drawings, textual and textural notations, and temporary phenomena to document the experience of Gammeltorv, a square in the inner city of Copenhagen.
