Abstract: Through my first experiencing of the site ( 3 p.m. Wednesday, September 18), I was impressed that this site was so quite and rather empty human-wise, compare to what I expected as an urban neighborhood. . Contraly, I was strucked by the vegetations growing in the vacant lot: how lively it is and how they try to get out from the caged or framed habitat of theirs. The vegetation was activating this area.
When I think of place to live, I would like to have many interactions with others: for fun, for motivation etc.
Maybe the time was the cause: it was 3:00 p.m. and it was between the sehool's over and before the grown-ups coming home or going to shopping for dinner. Maybe there are some places for their own to spend time and I could not see it. This leads me to my way of mapping of when and where people are activating the place as the neighborhood. Compare ot my first impression of the site.
