We have taken part in the
Brentford Biopsy project through one of the mapping workshops led by
Christian Nold. Previous workshops have been held with local people attempting to create a Brentford issue map. The discussion evolves around the proposed developments in the area and what Brentford really needs.
I was doing smell mapping which involves blindfold and headphones to make you pay attention to different smells and materials.
A very useful exercise for a Landcape Architect, it makes you consider construction details and and such things as the wind. Unfortunately the headphones are not 100% sound proof so the noise from the traffic is all the time apparent giving you a sense of where you are.
