CONCEPT BOARD (In Progress)

Now it was time to for us to work individually on our CONCEPT BOARDS based on the opportunities we chose from our micro areas. The opportuinity I chose was to solve the problem of mapping and signages in hauz khas village. Hauz khas village has no proper maps and signages for the visitor's  which leads to so much confusion among them as to where they have to go. And it seems like a really big problem area because many of the visitor's are not able to go to the exact place they want to go and even the google maps does not show the correct places.

Although it is still incomplete but my Concept Board depicts the confusion people face when they visit Hauz Khas Village beacuse of no direction signages and proper map.
I'll try to complete it as soon as possible and update you with it.

Then we made the VISUAL CULTURE BOARD. Visual Culture is the aspect of culture expressed in visual images. We made this board in the shape of sunglasses so that we could show how the Hauz Khas Village looks from our perspective. In this board we showed what all you can see when you visit the place - architecture in the rural area as well as the urban area,behaviour of people etc through pictures and our sketches.

At first we were way too confused as to what we have to exactly in these boards as we've never heard about these boards before. After clearing all our doubts we started making the boards.

 We started with our SOCIAL CULTURE BOARD.

SOCIAL CULTURE BOARD

In our "SOCIAL CULTURE BOARD" we showed the type of people that come to Hauz Khas Village (Designers,Photographers,Tourist,Office Crowd,Couples,Vendors etc) and the evolution as well as the history of this place.

Compiling everything in the log book...

All the information collected from everywhere had to be compiled in the log books in the form of written matter,pictures,sketches etc.

I started my log book by jotting down the aim and our learning outcomes of this module. Then I sketched a map of hauz khas village and showed the connectivity from different transports.We had to sort our information on the basis of micro and macro.

I started with my macro where I wrote about the History and evolution of hauz khas along with the transformation that took place there.
I created a flow chart which shows the division of the village in 3 parts :  Residential area, Commercial area and the Historical area. '

The  brochures

Then using sketches and pictures I described all these areas in details which showed the different cultures of hauz khas. 
We were asked to show the whole essence of hauz khas through our log books for which I sketched the whole ambience of hauz khas, the people that you see there, the type of products sold there etc. I also pasted the brochures of the different restaurants we collected from there.After compiling the research of the macro area I wrote about the micro area. Again we had to write about the history,evolution,ambience,culture etc in detail of the micro area.
