Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Home Courses IMAGE | ABILITY – Visualizing the Unimaginable Course materials Readings Theme – IMAGE|ABILITY

Theme – IMAGE|ABILITY

Course subject(s) 1. What is your IMAGE|ABILITY ?

The topic of this module is “What is your IMAGE|ABILITY ?”

We will introduce two themes from language theory and sociology:

  1. Semiotics
  2. Cultural bias

You will learn that these themes are important when you develop images and if you want to be successful in your communication through images. This can be quite relevant to architects who need to present their innovative ideas on stage. However, this course is aimed at a much wider group of students and life long learners. Consider journalists who need to use info graphics in their publications, scientists who need to communicate about very small nano particles, or artists who would like to discuss the concepts in their work. You all might benefit from this course!
