ISSonVis mission:
During the “International Spring School on Visualization” we embark on a multidisciplinary exploration of the intricate relationship between cityscapes and rural landscapes. In the age marked by rapid urbanization and shifting demographics, understanding the dynamics between urban and rural spaces is crucial. Our virtual gathering serves as a nexus for scholars, researchers, students and enthusiasts from diverse fields to converge, collaborate, and explore the multifaceted dimensions of this dynamic interplay.
Spanning across the realms of American history, literature studies, spatial statistics, and geovisualization, our lecturers bring a rich tapestry of expertise. From the quaint English Garden Cities to the sprawling expanse of American Suburbia (in poetry), each presentation unveils unique perspectives on the urban-rural continuum. Through a synthesis of textual analysis, spatial analysis, and 3D visualization techniques, we delve deep into the past, present, and future of urban and rural landscapes.
Through the lens of 3D visualization, we transcend traditional boundaries, immersing ourselves in the dynamic spatiality of urban and rural data. With the use of spatial statistics and geovisualization, we unlock new dimensions of insight, reveal geographical patterns, trends, and disparities that lie hidden beneath the surface.
Join us as we embark on this interdisciplinary spring school, where the lines between disciplines blur, and the power of visualization becomes a catalyst for discovery. The SSonVis is subdivided into lectures, guided practices and edutainment sessions. The concept of the spring school is set up to be open to both geoinformatics and humanities students with no limitation on their level of study (Bachelor, Master, PhD).
