Week 1 – Three Social Spaces

Our task for Thursday class was to choose three social spaces and assign them 2-3 words from the list on the paper guide

(Dancing, Roving, Assembling, Exchanging, Occupying, Placing, Joining, Eating, Protesting, Staging, Wearing, Relaxing)

After choosing our three spaces we were to visit each site to take notes and images/drawings. The three spaces I choose to look at were the Auckland Art Gallery, Auckland Library and CityFitness Gym Queen Street. After gathering notes and images I then organised these onto three A5 sheets.

In Thursdays class we then did an exercise where we choose the word from the list that we thought best matched with the space and placed this A5 onto the table labeled with that word. As we walked around the class looking at others A5 we were able to move any that we thought could match with another of the words better. However in doing this we had to have a reason, it was interesting to see how the words could be interpreted differently by different people.
