act 6

urban walk

this activity, designed and facilitated by Dr. Chiara Del Gaudio from Carleton University's School of Industrial Design, walked participants through an in-depth exploration and heightened perception of the neighbourhood.

participants reflected on key topics: what makes a place? what does what we see tell us? what do you usually see and what are you not seeing? why? how does a place make you feel and what informs that sensation? what are existing and desired resources?

the activity began at 5:00 pm at Arlington 5 and lasted approximately 2h30.

in this case too, we spent some time outside (more or less 1 h - notwithstanding the freezing wind!
