Exercise Title
Interpretation/Representation tools – Representation based on a name
Intervention Location
Nespereira, Guimarães
Activity Description
The purpose of this exercise is to encourage the students to understand that everything that is represented has an underlying intention and a name that identifies that specific interpretation. The exercise was carried out in several areas of the municipality of Guimarães. The municipality was divided into several parts, each part conforming an urban tissue sample and assigned to a group of two students. The sample was provided with the word “Insterstices”– which was selected from the text «De la ciudad que sube al paisaje eu avanza» by Mirko Zardini – and served as the basis for interpreting the sample. The word was the same for all work groups. Further development of the work was based on the cartography resources provided as well as field work.
