Abstract
This paper presents the pedagogical process, the student works, and the instructor’s reflective analysis of “The Future City” project. This project is the culmination of « Art and the City », a general elective course at Ching Yuan Christian University, Taiwan. In this course, students are first introduced to the theories of flâner, soundwalk, basic design, as well as various types of urban art. As a final assignment, students integrate their knowledge from lectures and their discussion with peers to envision their own “Future City” underpinned by urban sustainability. Whether it is ensuring the longevity of valuable cultural assets or designing for the well being of future generations, the students’ works reflect their values and their imagining of the sustainable future city. The study also contemplates the significance of the pedagogy applied in “The Future City” project.
