The representation of social space: mapping the city
The aim here is to offer a diverse account of the city, primarily through a process of ‘mapping’. The intention is to describe how space can be constructed through a series of networks and relational systems and then go on to explore the different ways in which these spaces are revealed in film, visual images, music, architecture, audio + text.

Economic and cultural [dis]enterprise and [un] developments have made a real and strong change to the landscape of Yeoville. But whilst these [un]developments generally bode well for a certain sector's economic growth, there is a danger that the memory and reality of historical spaces are erased in favour of the new + recently emergent physical and psychological constructions.

How we document and archive these changes is a challenge for all those involved with research and necessarily bound up with notions of value and ownership.
