Adam Larsen | Assignment 3 | Mapping

FIRST DRAWING | WEIGHT AND DENSITY

 

Through my drawing of the Beady Museum I wanted to reveal the massing of its underground archive in relation to the surrounding complex. In doing so I am hoping the weight/ density of the archive is apparent. 

SECOND DRAWING | ALIVE AND DEAD

To further my analysis, I did a section sketch through the field and down into the archive. I wanted to map the relationship between the living and the dead at the site. Above ground are many living things, which is in contrast to the many archived dead things beneath.

I also did a sketch showing how movement through either space is different. Above ground, movements are in opposition to each other in almost perfect intersections, while underground movement is more fluid and variable.

A3: Mapping | Pierre Tulk

For this assignment, I have decided to map my own steps, at 3 different physical and temporal scales.

Drawn above are my movements on Tuesday, October 4th, 2022.

Drawn above are my movements taken on the same day (October 4th, 2022), but this time at a bigger scale: this map shows my usual day-to-day travel from my apartment to UBC and to the gym.

Finally, the map above displays my movements on a much larger scale, taken over 6 months, from January to September 2022. I have traveled with my family to Austria last summer and made 2 round trips to Vancouver.

At Home

For 15 minutes took tally of sounds heard, which direction they came from, and roughly how loud they were. Site: Jericho Beach Lookout near public binoculars.
Sketched map of site surroundings, with cardinal directions colour-coded. Attempted to plot on hand-drawn compass rose below, but too complex. Ultimately made digital version (below).
“Sound rose” of sounds heard at Jericho Beach lookout. Each bar represents a different sound, with its extent representing the frequency with which it was heard, and its height representing how audible it was. Cardinal directions are colour-coded and correspond to colours on the map above. Different directions varied greatly in the sounds heard variety of sound sources.
