I was thinking about layering these green spaces into typologies.... topography? Either way the idea is to have some green designated as 'wild' some green as 'cultivated'
right now you seem to focus only on topographical aspects (how the different green areas occur on a map –> how many space do they occupy, where are they, what form/outline do they have).
For the purpose to develop typologies it is necessary to leave that behind and focus on the togological aspects (what is the genius loci of that space –> is it hilly, is it abandoned, is it cultivated,... what makes it to a green space or a abandoned one –> the absence of human intervention can have its origin in an space that is hard to develop, or in some kind of a law like holy or forbidden places (military area). But this would concern mostly the matter of origin.
What would be more important for those typologies would be to find out comparable attributes or some attributes that seem to be common for some of the found places and distinguise cultivated from wild places.
also to try and show the green spaces as 'corridors' entering the city, or at least, I could take what looks like a corridor, and make it into a space that enters the city
Martin and me are working on developing the map we showed in the end the last time. We are continuing with that, and try to map nearly the whole city of berlin. We want to show the spaces and their different types in a typologicial map (as we started to try last time)
As soon we`re finished i will load it up on this site. Is that ok?
that depends. what are you aiming at?

ReplyDeleteHey,

would be great!
DeleteAre we dealing with typology or topology?
ReplyDeleteTopology is a step towards typology
