New Year, New Project, New Update.

Our project for terms 2 & 3 revolves around the design and implementation of an “archive” (whatever form/function/etc that may take). We’ve been given 5 sites to choose from in Strood - and I’m mulling over two of them, both located on the bank of the Medway (so, amongst other things - plan for flood risk & sustainable drainage etc.).

The two top slides of this update show a route not taken with this project (pun unintentional) - that is, the archiving of “protest(s)”. These two maps were a quick attempt to show the route, origin and potential dispersal patterns of the protestors at two protests: the “Reclaim Your Voice” student march in Edinburgh, 2011; and the 2003 “Stop the War” march in London. I’ve decided to go for a theme of “psychological trauma” instead, for archival.
