Initial Spatial Demonstrations/Typologies

As an initial strategy, I have decided to divide the space into three specific zones. These zones demonstrate spatial typologies that were sampled from three cities and filtered by the polemic statements. Surveillance serves as the conceptual framework that binds the three zones of investigation into a coherent urban system.

Spatial Manifestation

Thank you Reinhold Martin

Is Reinhold in this studio?
From the introduction of his book Multi-National City--Architectural Itineraries:

1. A city is never simply in one place.
2. You cannot always see a city
3. A city is a figment of the imagination that is also a tangible thing.
4. Every building imagines a city, and a world.
5. Every building can imagine another city, and another world.

Interesting graphic for traffic flow

Tracking Taxi Flow Across the City
he New York Times gathered GPS data from taxi cabs collected from January-March 2009, and mapped all the pick-ups and drop offs--thus creating a heat map of the city's pulse.

What's more, the map has been plotted over the course of the week, and you can watch a time-lapse view that shows activity ebbing and flowing in different neighborhoods, depending on what's there. And you can also zoom in on eight select neighborhoods.
