ASSEMBLAGE
Morphological Mapping is a final year subject in the Urban Planning and Design course. The final project is called 'Assemblage', which focuses on a transect (Elizabeth Street, Melbourne) and encourages students to experiment how our environment, using different mapping techniques, can be presented in a single map.
NETWORK
Does the buildings and public transport around you affects where you want to go?
The map shows the relationship between public transport and the surrounding buildings. The building functions are shown in three different colours (Red, Orange and Blue), where darker colour opacity represents higher percentage of the specific function. All over the map are white lines, coming from public transport stops, which are pedestrian movements (where one line represents 10 people - in and out flow). Hence, this map shows how the number of pedestrians in an area is affected by transit stops and the building function around it.
ATMOSPHERE
Have you ever came across a laneway and felt a certain emotion, maybe happiness or even fear?
The map aims to show the atmosphere or feeling in Melbourne's laneways. Three main elements shown in the map that plays a role in affecting a certain atmosphere include crowding, building interfaces and sound. The different colours on each laneway represents different interfaces of the laneways. The intensity of crowding is shown in a solid colour of red, orange or yellow, where red has the most crowd. Lastly, sound is represented as a circle, located from the source of the sound. The map overall shows how Melbourne laneways are diverse and why some laneways are more lively and busier than others.
