some post lecture experimentation!
Nolli Maps
Below is some of my experimentation in creating nolli maps using Adobe illustrator. I have taken areas that I have previously lived in, and experimented in using different colours to understand which may be most useful in analysing and presenting the urban form. My choices of locations were based on the fact that they are all quite different in terms of pattern, density, presence of greenspace and water. Nolli mapping helps to analyse locations and to identify any defining features. For example the convening of roads in Cowley Oxford is clear to see, as is the presence of greenspace adjacent to the river, whilst in EUR in Rome the low density and highly planned layout of the urban area as planned by Mussolini for a world expo before the WWII is clearly evident. The examples of Southville in Bristol and Balham in Wandsworth, exhibit some similar characteristics particularly in the density of housing, although accessible greenspace is available on a much greater scale in the case of Balh...
