Abstract/Summary

The design research workshop engaged in propositional map-making, enabling students to create opportunities for micro-scale, pre-figurative, urban interventions - unlocking new modes of urban commons. Propositional maps are maps with behavioural intent, URBAN COME-ON’S, producing a new, free flowing, territory that can be travelled in the imagination, in reality, or in both concurrently. Such forms of map propose new co-dependencies and dialogues between the imagination, expectations and experience. Plunging into creative walking, mapping and map-making processes, converting the unconventional data revealed into a propositional-map-scape and proposing sites for micro-interventions, will create an Immersive Graphic-Manifesto for Commoning. Working together we will combine our propositional maps and reveal opportunities for re-thinking cultural milieus and sharing life’s micro-pleasures.
