PLACEMAKING


i found this little book while touring a bookstore in calgary. it's a lovely project by photographer ami sioux. she asked people to draw a map of their favourite spot in paris and then she went back to photograph them. i love comparing the two.

i'm in the middle of taking a course called "placemaking" which is pretty much exactly what it seems. but in one of our assignments, we are asked to do the similar task of defining the narrative of a certain place/neighbourhood through mapping, poetry, photography, music, dance, etc. should be interesting and this book works as fun inspiration.
