Specific information

Even if the SITE, OBJECT, and SUBJECT belong to the same diagram each of them have a different focus and objective in this exploration. As a result, the following specific differences arrouse for each element in the china-town explorations.

[here goes another unpublished, but gorgeus, diagram.]

Here follows a list of the information and investigation processes for each element:

A_the SITE (chinatown_Rotterdam):

identify objects
identify subjects
> CATEGORIZE!

get images and video // top view and ground level
identify each the type of building by its program
> CATEGORIZE!

identify VELOCITY (people, cars, tram)
identify TRANSITIONS (from public to private)
identify SPACES (shop, houses, gardens, courts, etc.)
identify MOVEMENT (inflow/outflow of objects and subjects)
> DIAGRAM!

B_the OBJECT (chinese traditional medicine shop):

where is it positioned?
what's its story (background)?
which subject operates (in) it? (get info on subject)
inflow/outflow of objects and subjects (medicines, patients, workers, etc.)
> MAKE POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS!

C_the SUBJECT (chinese hairdresser):

where is it positioned?
what's its story (background)?
in which object operates does he operate? (get info on oubject)
where does the subject go, to which objects?
> MAKE POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS!
which subjects have contact with it?
> MAKE POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS!

Looking for what??

We have just 3 things to work with: a SITE, a SUBJECT, and an OBJECT. They all have respective backgrounds. Through the interconnection of each of these elements we get 9 different questions of 'what we are looking for'. Each connection is in both ways, and the same question won´t arrouse if you go from A to B as if you would go from B to A.

[here goes the diagram which we haven´t exported. yet.]

1_What are the site's objects?
2_What are the site's subjects?

3_what is the object's relationship to the site?
4_what is the subject's relationship to the site?

5_what are the object's subjects?
6_what are the subject's objects?

7_background of the site
8_background of the object
9_background of the subject
