In this final workshop we explored the actual space of the future silence
space. We used the social mapping method called MAPit, developed by the
researchers of the Media & Design Academy in Genk (B), visit
www.socialspaces.be for more information. It’s an intuitive and visual way
to think about a problem. In this case the problem was: what constitutes a
silence place, what do we think should be present in such a space. In the
picture you see the final version of our map. As I’ve got a soft spot for maps I really enjoyed working with this flexible
mapping tool. Apart from visualising it also makes discussion very easy.
