public space booklet


please re-read brief and look critically at your work with the general shortcomings in mind

From brief:
You have illustrate the greater narrative and your position towards public space in
-       a photographic documentary of public spaces you have visited and 2 book case studies in form of a story board and analytical diagrams
-       a comic style storyboard on how the bench is used in various ways and addressing issues raised in your analysis
-       a short essay/ manifesto about the necessity of accessible public space (+-1500 words) referring to 3 texts handed out
-       larger public space map of Rosettenville (projected)
-       Format: A5 portrait = folded A4 landscape, template to be provided
