CT2 - RESEARCH

INSPIRATIONS


In our work we were inspired by the book "Emotional Cartography - Technologies of the Self" edited by Christian Nold (2009) who is making resaerch about influence of surrounding on an intimate biometric data.

THE BOOK

Emotional Cartography is a collection of essays from artists, designers, psychogeographers, cultural researchers, futurologists and neuroscientists, brought together by Christian Nold, to explore the political, social and cultural implications of visualising intimate biometric data and emotional experiences using technology.

Christian Nold invented a small toll called The Bio Mapping device (photo: GPS - left, fingercuffs - top and data logger on the right) which is a portable and wearable tool recording data from two technologies: a simple biometric sensor measuring Galvanic Skin Response and a Global Positioning System (GPS). By this tool he was checing the emotional response of poeple.

THE DEVICES

Main devices that were used to acquire the data was the pulse measuring device, wchich was used to measure the pulse in exact spots that were crucial to the given path.

Based on the results we wanted to be able to create various "emotional maps" of the city.


THE MAPS

Picture are a graphical representation of visual maps we were inspired with.













THE RESEARCH


CT2 Group inspired by His research decided to check if the selected route has influence on people in terms of a personal pulse and blood pressure. We measured it in 11 stops by proffesional pressure gauge. Our aim was to check if our body is "reacting" for changing elements of the city. Here we are presenring the effects of our research:

On the right can see schematic sketch of our tour with 11 checking points. As you can see checking points were placed in places with special meaning, features, function and character. You can see also measurement tool, wchich measure pulse and blood plesure by sensor on the wrist and of course data from every point. Below there are 2 charts showing the variables.











There were 3 of participants, who were measured in 11 checking points. Aas you can see in many points ours results are quite similar - have the same tends do increase or decrease. Of course we have in mind personal different features like gender, age, body built, diete etc . All this aspects have influence on our results, esepecially: personal, genetic features of pulse/blood pressure, speed of walking.
Whats more we also use endomondo.com application to record our way by GPS system. Unfortunately we made some mistakes during the trip so it doesnt show our way perfectly.







THE RESULTS













































































CONCLUSIONS


Many external aspects have impact on our results like genetic features of pulse/blood pressure, speed of walking, gender, age, body built, diet etc. That is why our measurements should be also analyzed by additional professionals like doctors and psychiatrists.

Our research was only the introduction to wide-scale studies and experiments. Basing onour sketches, we are sure that this topic has a great potential and should be developed ina future. Specific and proved results should be foundation for a list of space shaping actions. Despite of the sketch character of our work, we can try to formulate some conclusions.

Our results are quite similar - have the same tends to increase or decrease in the same moments. Forgetting about the body differences, we can assume that for some factors we are reacting in the same way. For example we are all more stressed near to the high loud and crowded street, we are slower and more relaxed in a middle of a park, we are reacting differently from each other in a well-known and new places.

Going further we can shape the proper space reactions. For example, if some part of the city is to loud and people are more stressed because of that. We can place sound absorbers, use acoustic materials or shape local building in a way which will be stopping the sound flow. In areas where are a lot of aggressive attractors like shops, advertisements, billboards etc., we can place more green alleys and courts, to balance energy flow between users and environment.

There are a lot of more examples which can be solve by our researches. In our opinion such experimental methods can be the future of city shaping and they are worth continuing.



SAMPLE PROJECT



The data which we acquired can be simply compared to noise value in the area. As a sample design we can introduce the part of a DS1 project of one of our group participants. It assumes creating the level of urban tissue from given research data. In this case the noise map from the surrounding determines how high the buildings are.

Volumes were generated by a Grasshoper script taking the noise height map. On a 7x7 m grid (which simulates a constuction module) are distributed cubics in amount which is dictated by the amount of noise in the exact point. The noise dictates the boundaries for human shelters.
We as people run away from noise as far we can. In this situation in is the noise which allows us to buil our architecture like walls dividing us from it. This

way we amplify the spaces where the noise is lowest and create public areas in those places.
The analysis tells us what area we should use for each function.


The noise is the highest in the direct neighbourhood of the Al. Jerozolimskie. The lowest is the farther we go into the urban squares. The highest height the buildings achieve in beside the roads and get lover in the middle of the squares.

We get more volume near the communication and cosy space inside.
