Synopsis

The students were challenged to create a one to one map of a specific human interaction with a given environment. The project is less interested in the representation of the actual human form or the actual environment, and more focused on the development of a system that mediates between human and environment, resulting in analytical maps of the interactions.

More broadly, students were asked to consider the question, “is it possible to produce a one to one map?”
