A Sense of Place Introduction

I was introduced to the brief today, 'A sense of place'. I have a few ideas to explore, they mainly relate to my home town and city and I want to link them to my trip to New York earlier this year. I found New York to be one of the most exciting places I've ever been and want to compare how different the city is to being at home by exploring distance, the city and image.

Notes:

1st Brief : A sense of place

Engage in research and development in response to contemporary themes and to my own independent research

There are five themes to explore over phase one :
1. Exploring the city
2. The city as a species of space
3. The city as a system of objects
4. The city as an image
5. The city as a language

I will explore these themes in a sketchbook linking to my own ideas that were discussed in group activities.
1. Town / village
2. Distance
