Personal Geography- Cognitive Map

This is the third of a three part mapping project. Students were required to create three separate maps, each depicting the same trip. This project taught me how to use abstraction and utilize symbols and colors to communicate a message without text. The cognitive city is the product of the brain and its experiences: how the inhabitant structures his or her perceptions and links them to the physical network (Mark Treib). Part three of my mapping assignment was to map my decisions on the way to school from my home and show how they affected my following desicions.

Personal Geography- Perceptual Map

This is the second of a three part mapping project. Students were required to create three separate maps, each depicting the same trip. This project taught me how to use abstraction and utilize symbols and colors to communicate a message without text. The perpetual city is a negotiation between the artifact and the human being (Mark Treib). Part two of my mapping assignment required me to map my perceptions on the trip from my home to class.

Personal Geography- Artifact Map

This is the first of a three part mapping project. Students were required to create three separate maps, each depicting the same trip. This project taught me how to use abstraction and utilize symbols and colors to communicate a message without text. The artifact city is: the physical, indisputable, the network of streets and urban places and the buildings that surround and define them (Mark Treib). Part one of the mapping assignment entailed designing an artifact map from my home to class.
