Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a multi-disciplinary tool that is widely used across the architecture industry. Attend this 15-minute Speed Run Session to learn why every map you’ve ever seen is wrong! This presentation and question & answer session will discuss the importance of geographic co-ordinate systems and map projection systems, and how they impact the messages conveyed through maps.
By the end of this workshop, participants will understand:
- What geographic co-ordinate systems and map projections are
- Current map projection industry standards
- How to choose the appropriate map projection for your project
The GIS Speed Run Sessions are drop-in sessions open to all architecture students; come with an interest in learning more about GIS!
