Stonehouse

So our first group task was to take a different view of the stone house area of Plymouth. As a class we learnt that we are so used to seeing things in a conventional manor such as viewing cities and their elements from views provided by google earth. By using google earth its easy for anyone to see roads, buildings and paths easily mapped, it is thinking beyond these standard elements that becomes hard.

As a group we then set out to individually map out a certain subject on the map of stone house, that when compiled together along with the others would form an aura of the stone house area. It was hard at first to understand what to do with this task, but it merely took getting to grips with one idea for it to spark a creative flare in photo shop.

I took this approach........

I decided to map the areas aura, which includes the concentration or not as the case may be of activities to do in stone house. It was hard especially since i had no been to stonehouse yet, so exploring this space without experience was a task in itself.

The blue lines represent density of aura. The more in a certain space the higher the aura of that area of stonehouse. The red lines represent the boundaries of this aura within stonehouse. Without having been there it was hard to judge where to put them, however  i based it on what you would expect from a main street and a coastal section.
