Speaking of scale: Manhattan from above
February 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Just came across some very high quality aerial photos (mostly of Manhattan. May not help specifically with the project, but they are interesting to look at with Whyte’s film in mind): http://tiny.cc/t24ht
The full film, by the way, is available to view on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/5298850 You may want to re-watch this film as you consider planning for Monday’s field visit. What is Whyte paying attention to in his filming? What is he looking for in his footage? Are there distinct concepts (like sitting space, play space, where people congregate, etc) that you can pull out of the film and keep an eye out for while walking? How do you think any of these concepts relate to the formation (or lack of formation of community)?
