Phase 01 Review: Potentialities

A quick recap of the final review for Phase 01: Potentialities.

My presentation was fine; they didn't have too much to say.  I think this means that my work wasn't bad, but it wasn't good.  Not talking usually means one's project isn't interesting enough to explore further.  My final composite map took a base map of Charlottesville etched into chipboard.  Underneath hung a cutout extrusion of a 1907 Sanborn map, and above that a changing 1994-2011 parking lot on our site.  On top of the map I made acrylic cuts of mobility interfaces: the train station, bus station, and greyhound station. Green dots are bus stops.  Congestion is modeled with T-pins and yarn shows areas of congestion are the two centers (the Rotunda and the Downtown Mall).  The tall, middle T-pin with the vortex of yarn is a potential congestive area.  Thin acetate walls separate commercial from residential districts.  Groups of green marker dots are also congestion.  Anyway I can't type well cause of my finger, but I'll post some raw pics to look at.  Phase 2 begins tomorrow...here we go.







Yup.  This worthless map cost me a sliver of finger.  Oh the top ones are spatial sketch models that are really bad.  Thanks for reading.
