Schematic Hometown Mapping #77

Closed rasagy closed 12 months ago

rasagy commented 1 year ago

Hi everyone,

As discussed, let’s make some schematic maps of our hometowns! You can find the slides from our class here & a video of my Outlier talk on this.

You can see some of the previous schematic map exercises for reference.

You can follow the following steps for your schematic map:

  1. Scale, Audience & Purpose
  2. Mental model sketch
  3. Tracing relevant aspects from OSM
  4. Abstraction: Grids & geometric shapes
  5. Simplification vs Minimal
  6. Elements of the city
  7. Visual hierarchy
  8. Details: Icons, Typography, Legend, Context

Here are some references to go through:

Ekamra Kshetra - Bhubaneswar the Temple City

The project is an attempt to map parts of Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha. The mapped area is known as 'Old Town' or 'Ekamra Kshetra', its ancient name. 'Ekamra' is referred to mango trees and 'Kshetra' refers to an area. Also, in Ekamra Purana, a 13th-century Sanskrit treatise, it is noted that the presiding state deity of Lingaraj was originally under a mango tree. Hence, the name Ekamra Kshetra.

The area is famous for its ancient sandstone temples and heritage ponds built. The monuments are built over 2,000 years ago from the 3rd century BC to the 15th century AD. The purpose of the map is to provide tourists and visitors a route plan to cover almost all the heritage sites in one go. It is also an attempt to make people familiar with the city's history and its origin.

Mind Mapping and Visualization

2

More and more attempts of visualization was done as most of the shapes and patterns were unsatisfiable to incorporate into the new design of the map. Finally, upon taking a larger area into consideration, a usable figure was obtained. After playing with the orientation and sizing of the figure, a familiar mango tree structure was derived. Which then served as the outline of the map.

3

Final Map

The Map of Ekamra Kshetra consist of all ancient Hindu temples one should visit if they happen to be in the temple city of Bhubaneswar. The area mapped is a special foreign tourist attraction as it has been listed as a tentative site in UNESCO World Heritage list.

Bulandshahr: A district located in western Uttar Pradesh, India. Background: Bulandshahr has many local natives from villages who come to the city for healthcare. Purpose of the map: People coming to Bulandshahr are majorly low literate people and majorly Hindi-speaking people, hence a Hindi version of map is also made for their convenience.

Where? Hampi: I have visited Hampi a few times, and this place holds a special spot in my heart. The terrain of Hampi is uniquely beautiful. The large rocks balanced in impossible ways on sharp edges and points never cease to amaze me.

Who? Hampi is known for its rich historical and architectural significance, featuring the ruins of the ancient city of Vijayanagara. The site attracts a diverse range of visitors, including History Enthusiasts, Backpackers and Travelers, Spiritual Seekers, Photographers, Cultural and Heritage Tourists, and International Tourists.

Why? There are estimated to be around 500-600 structures, including temples, shrines, and other monuments in Hampi. It is impossible to cover everything in the limited time of two days. This schematic map of Hampi facilitates tourists in maximizing their time and ensuring they don't miss out on the most significant experiences.

Where?

Taljai Trails, Pune; a jogging track situated on top of a hill.

Why?

It is a 8 km closed loop track, but has multiple shortcuts in between which makes navigation difficult. There are signs that mark every 500 m but, they do not show the overview of the track and where to head next, People generally get onto shortcuts without realising it

Who?

People who visit the hill for the first time, or are less frequent visitors that move around in a limited area.

Lots of students come to Jalgaon from nearby towns and villages for college or coaching every year. Many of them struggle in finding a perfect spot to chill after their all day classes as they are unaware of the city. Thus the map shown below will help them locate all the cafes or street food places where they can have fun along with their friends.

Visualizing map of Tirumala temple town on the hills of Tirupati. Idea is to create zoning and marking accommodation areas. Since people are already familiar with the temples it is not the main focus.

Group 1 1D789180-7B2C-4A86-8327-0651847303F6 jpeg 5155C441-2CDA-483F-9F02-DB78E6C52759 jpeg 9F55A0FC-712A-4AF8-89FF-5875D369F62A jpeg

" The Lord of the Seven Hills " A Tourist Route map of Tirumala town.

Location: Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh, India.

The places and areas show are the most common places which a tourist come across during his journey in Tirumala. The map majorly focuses on Guest House, Rest Houses and Pilgrim Complexes. It also covers Major Temples, Food Places, Shopping and other tourist attractions. The major signifier in remembering the map is the abstract face of Hanuman formed by the Outer ring road of the town. Then the map is radially expanding from his head starting with temples in the center and accommodation places, shopping, food and health surrounding it. The idea contour effect is to give the feeling of altitude and the location on the hills. The hand drawn icons with specific roof pattern for a particular type of place will help in easy navigation. This map aids the tourist in easily orienting himself during his IN & OUT journey.

Major Malls in South Bengaluru

Where- South Bangalore (Between Kanakapura Rd and Bannerghatta Rd)

Why- Malls are one of the most popular places to spend leisure time among with friends. Activities like watching a movie, snacking, window shopping or actually shopping at branded stores makes a mall a great place for spending hours in the same place. South Bangalore is slightly less explored by those living in the "main" region of Bangalore, hence this map.

Who- The map is created with students and Bangalore residents in mind who wish to explore some new malls and areas. It is not the best option for those coming to Bangalore for the first time as most of these malls probably won't make it to the top-5 malls by area in Bangalore.

Sarthak Rao, 19u130012 (WIP) 'Cycling routes in Mumbai Suburbs' - includes central side suburban Mumbai, and parts of Navi Mumbai and Thane. The map is intended for cycling enthusiasts living in said areas, to find appropriate roads for distance, altitude, and scenery. memory

^ Mapping from memory, of places I've cycled to from Mulund.

^ Tracing of the roads and landmarks

A bit of a stretch, but the triangular outline resembled the basic frame of a bike. However, with wheels and other parts missing, it didn't feel like a strong enough metaphor to warrant re-orienting and scaling the map.

^ Current WIP of schematic map, drawn to a grid. Attempted a basic hierarchy of typography for marked names.

Yet to do: encode relevant data of altitude, iconography for type of road/destination (if it is a scenic spot, or good urban road, or mountain/offroad). Other miscellaneous improvements - highlight that it's a small part of Mumbai, continuity of roads, etc.

Schematic Map of my Hometown Bhopal - Metro Map for the City of Lakes

Bhopal - the capital city of Madhya Pradesh has more than 7 major lakes that are a prominent feature of the overall landscape and gives an identity to the city. The arrangement of these lakes also forms an essential datum to the navigability of the city, especially for its residents.

Background: Metro lines in Bhopal are currently in the initial stages of construction (1st Phase with 2 lines - red and purple) and are expected to be completed by 2026) Bhopal is also a major railway junction in central India and has 5 key railway stations of the Indian Railways Network.

Purpose of the Map: There doesn’t exist a schematic metro network map of Bhopal Metro yet. I attempted to create one with the prominent features of the city.

Visual Style : the visual style of the map is heavily borrowed from the metro network maps available at INAT mapping (link) so that it could fit in along with the other cities available.

Avani Bhagdikar/ 21u130032 Updates here

rasagy commented 1 year ago

Hi everyone, good to see some more updates. I’ll do one final review tomorrow.

Sharing some common things to keep in mind — you can use this as a checklist for your final submission:

Give your map a nice title.

Schematic map of X is a good start. But it’s even better to find a relevant, catchy or engaging title. See if your map’s area + theme/purpose can form a good title. Make sure it is prominently visible.

Title your map

Describe your map, who made it, why

Add a short description about the map (purpose, anything specific that people shouldn’t miss…). Mention your name + affiliation (you can also mention the course etc. for more context). Add attribution for anything you used to make the map (OSM/Google Maps, icon sets, type faces etc.) _especially if you make a multilingual map!_

Description

Make the edge of your map clear

Make sure your elements aren’t floating in space — give the area of focus a slight variation in background from the rest of the background. You can slightly lighten/darken the map background compared to the overall poster’s background.

Area of focus

Show how to enter/exit from the area of your map

Make roads, railway lines & metro lines extend beyond the above area of focus. Add some context — where do these lead to?

Roads extend beyond the map area

Add a hierarchy in your Labels

Make sure your labels vary based on what they represent. If they are connected to an icon/area, use the same hue to form a clear association. Add a halo to make it easier to read.

Label colors   halo

Orient the reader

Give a reference for which way is North, by using a Compass rose or North arrow

Orient


Hope this helps. Look forward to the final maps, especially the bilingual ones!

Where? Rabindra Sarobar Lake, Kolkata, West Bengal. A large forest park area with many species of plants and animals living and people come for exercise or just for visit.

Why? Many times people gets confused between the main track and side tracks and thus get lost. Also due to may gates people don't know from where to come out.

Who? This is for the people who have come to jog for the first time and want to utilize the whole main track properly for jogging around the Lake, also for newcomers who wants to visit this area without getting confused.
