Map(in) UNAM

The third assignment associated with this project has to do with utilizing visual information to demonstrate "real physical and phenomenological conditions" to a viewer through mapping of the UNAM campus. These maps, will not be your typical maps though, their abstraction and understanding are all based upon an idea of translation (your interpretation and understanding of "time, space, and experience".

Searching the web, I came across several concepts of mapping that were new to me - that I was interested in exploring for this project once I decide upon an area of campus to place focus and emphasis on/within. The first concept, as seen to the right, is an acoustical map, which measures the decibal level of sound throughout a given area.




The second concept, right, is a map of New York
City and its population density during the day vs. the night.




Other potential studies are seen below such as shadow mapping, left, and types of organization, right.
