Urban Informatics - Tracing the City
While I was in San Francisco it just happened to be Architecture week. I popped into the office to take part in an event run by a good colleague of mine, Engin Ayaz called ‘Tracing the City’. Literally we traced over images of The SF Mid Market District. It did help that I happened to ride my rent-a-bike past there the day before as part of my big trek to get across the bridge. (definitely better than going on a bus tour if you are in town)
Objective of the workshop:
Understand the potential for information to improve the lives of citizens. (Improvement in terms of economic, social and aesthetic)
Summary of the workshop:
- Assume a role of a local in the area
- Understand his/her needs and interests
- Take tracing paper and trace over photos of the local area with an aim to ‘augment’ with information.
