Kipling Station Maps

Occupancy vs. Business Overlay

We chose to overlay these maps because they signify the opposite ends of the spectrum. They indicate, together, that the two forces play in close proximity to each other. The two maps together really fill up our constraints of our base map.

Occupancy vs. Available Transit Overlay

In this overlay, the maps seem to frame each other into sections. The transit hubs, or stops, indicate the outer extremities of each individual neighborhood. It is also very easy to see the areas in the occupied zones, where transit is not readily available, and a moderate walk is necessary to reach a specific stop. It also readily displays the direct relationship between the transit routes, and the railway system the flows through the middle. It is simple to identify the only main passage over the tracks.

Exercise Four: Amin shahinbakhsh

Mapping is a technique that brings new possibilities. It is more than tracing what is real. It can bring the past and possibility of future together in one perspective. Mapping is a design tool for the urban developers. Mapping is known to be an analytical process that records the facts for our use. This does not make the science of mapping any less imaginary or inventive. It stands to be as important as any other part of design. The initiative is to make the existing condition evident. This part of the design is the most important since it creates the platform for creation. The technique of mapping has integrated over time with changes in technology, although the scheme and overall process has remained the same. It is important to consider the influence of mapping on our perception of future. Mapping influences our perception of the world and imagination of the future world. Mapping brings the present and future together. The new techniques have to take these into consideration.
