urban occupation : berlin

As we participate in the urban environment we carry with us visual experiences; memories.

There is a langauge/network that visually links the city and our memory of our participantion within it.

This project reflects the system of signs built up through the city as a quilt of information {footpaths, roads and buildings all have a materiality that tells a story}

Instead it looks to the visual networks that can be created through memories of space.

By breaking the urban quilt into modulated visual extracts, abstracted networks can be generated highlighting the often unnoticed links {do we walk slower or faster on cobblestones; what does a strip of red on the footpath tell us}

As we participate in the urban environment we carry with us visual experiences; memories.  There is a language present that visually links the city and our memory of our participation within it.  This project wants to explore what the visual language of Berlin is, and what aesthetic works throughout the city to make it identifiable.  More importantly, it reflects on how has the city created a visual emancipation, and therefore constructed its aesthetic identity.
