Assignment
Decide the scope of your mapping project. You must choose either:-
A geographical zone (e.g., a neighborhood, park, district, region). It should be no less than 6 blocks long, and no longer than 12. It can be continuous, to recover the ambience of a street in a zone of heightened cultural activity.
- A thematic subject (e.g., music, fine art, poetry/prose, red-lining, social venues, residences of notable figures). This is likely to be discontinuous connecting sites spread across a larger territory.
Tasks
- Write a one-page project description outlining your choice and why it matters.
-
Identify the communities, histories, or themes that your project seeks to illuminate.
-
Create a preliminary list of at least three guiding questions your map should help answer.
