| Overall Educational Objective | To interpret comics as both a visual and a narrative art with durée/time aspect and to study architecture through these aspects. | ||||
| Course Description | Comics, graphic novels or sequential art is a narrative form which still serves as a medium for experimentation, exploration and inspiration.
