Biomapping

These workshop is based on mapping the city, not in the conventional way but in a way that deals with human, emotions, in short the body. We chose a location around Aldi/poptahof hostel in Delft and the idea was to read the emptiness of the city. Does the city go empty?, maybe yes, maybe no. Smell, sound/noise and movement were the parameters chosen to read the emptiness. Myself, kevin and slvia read the movement (humans walking, bicycling, and cars) of the city at 3 spots on location which are Aldi, Turkish Shop, and De hoven. We used photography as the tool for collecting the data by standing at different spots focusing on a particular location and taking pictures for 15minutes at every 30 seconds. The result is shown in the diagram as the city's heartbeat. Metarmorphorically, the city has a life just like a man; it breathes; slowly, fast, quietly, or randomly.
