16 August Task_3.1 Crit

Task_3.1 – Base Map                                                   

Production

1 Collecting

Base Maps:

Plan, Sections, Elevations + Thresholds (magnetic points).  Plan should include axonometric of selected strategic areas.  The key layer should be the identification of thresholds: kerbs, edges, steps, awnings, trees, etc.  Place the street under a microscope to expose what is normally omitted.

Photographic storyboard and drawings including the thresholds uncovered on by the base map should be used to explain the project.  Samples may include the following: edge conditions, windowsill, fences, garbage bins, streetlights, parking spaces etc.

Photographic recordings and other mapping techniques will serve to represent this complex phase together with a proposed research matrix on a plan in the making.  Unstructured interviews will be part of the scanning process ‘to expose the researcher to unanticipated themes and to help him or her to develop a better understanding of the interviewees’ social reality from the interviewees’ perspectives.’
