My same concept of space and time...a little twisted

After much research of the linked articles to our studio site and several sketches I have transformed the original graph I posted to these sketches and ultimately, the final sketch. Bear with me to more completely consummate this idea until tomorrow night and I hope you will be intrigued by my revelations...




The above diagram will soon be represented in 3 dimensions with shade/color variations describing you, research, products, stores, time, location, shipping, distance, space, relationship, availability, and research and development.

Matt -
These sketches are intriguing and I can't wait to see the final. It is interesting to see that you have centered "me" in the diagram with everything surrounding it. I never really thought of the process as a bull’s eye process but instead as a side by side process. I am going to think about this tonight. Thanks for your insight, I love seeing how everyone is coming up with such different ideas.

Matt,

Your sketches are not unlike programming sketches for a building or for various modes of city planning - roads, spurs, nodes, etc. I wonder if you can build a hypothetical network map for apple stores across the US. Kara taought us each store is exactly as its products. How does one begin to map intensity within such ubiquity?

Some of your sketches have the beginnings of forms found in nature. Is there a way to expand on this as a position visa vi place makeing, product making or the like?

Concentric rings emininating from the center seems like a perfect perceptual sketch from the marketing department apple board room. The idea is to create a belief that all things swirl around the individual, and readiate out in greater service of their needs. The truth, of course, could not be more different. Can your "map" illustrate this condition of perceived individuality across your entire home state? What happens at the intersections? Whose space is that and how does that effect perception? What about the ones who cannot gain that sense of perception as they are left out of this game?

Maybe you pursue the social aspects / realities / perceptions of buying an i...

Matt,
Very interesting stuff! Like my comment to other classmates, I think many of your sketches have a great potential to show all the qualities that “mapping” should / could have. I think is great stuff. One comment that I will do (actually a question), is: what has been you starting point in the generation of this sketches? For example I can see a very simple and clear path in Davis’s or Amr’s, a one more complicated but still understandable from Karas’s .
What I can read a lot in your sketches is a relationship to a common point, an origin point or a path to follow. I think all of this are a great venue to develop you “map” but the motive to go somewhere may times is more or as important as the travel /path we go thru.

Gus,

Thanks for the insight. I am posting my further developed map now! Please visit my site again later tonight or tomorrow if you have the opportunity. I would like to hear your reactions to my latest ideas. Thanks again for the comments!
