In the city landscape, ‘place’ is largely interpreted by individual experience, previous encounters and prior knowledge. We bring associations and pre-established understanding to everything we do, in any city.
The workshops were an opportunity to shape and discuss these perceptions by experiencing this city in a new way. In the workshops, participants were invited to become flaneurs, to explore their understanding of space and place, building a set of visual, textual and contextual ‘data’ that develops a new design-led topology of our city space.
