Making a Framework

1 Interpretive Mapping as a way of understanding the city and the issues involved in the project

30 August to 20 September • Reading, Discussing, Making

You will begin by mapping the Fens and its context within Boston. Your maps are meant to convey your understandings of the project, first, to yourself and, second, to the citizens of Boston. They may utilize iconic representations, directly portraying particular visual aspects of the landscape. They may utilize symbolic representations, using conventional symbols (letters, numbers, graphics). They may utilize conditional representations, conveying qualities of the landscape in ways quite different from conventional maps--through means that are quite personally derived but publically understood.
