Interfaces, Spaces Between
Continuing from the layer perspective and the house level view, here I played with the street level view. Inspiration:
My brief: For the street level, let’s explore taking a OpenStreetMap view of a street, and then converting it from the top down map view, to the idealised, hand drawn version with inputs and outputs.
Continue reading “AquaSavvy: Street flow Sankey”Carrying on from the Layered visualisation, I started playing with what a house level, or street level visualisation could look like. Some inspiration off the web:
Inspired by Fil’s Layers Perspective, as well as this papercraft calendar. The idea is to be able to isolate some elements, and then see how they relate.
As part of thinking through the AquaSavvy tool visualisations, I revisited an idea from a loooong time ago (2018) that was part of the inspiration for AquaSavvy.
As an exercise, I’m not sure how this would make it into the AquaSavvy tool as is. I had to do a lot of wrangling with Claude, that I don’t think a layperson could or would want to do. It’s fine for the project to do this for our selected sites, but as a global tool meeting people where they are, I don’t know.

The conversation started with “How can we visualise our emotions and responses to water?”
Continue reading “AquaSavvy tool ideas: Emotion map”I’m applying to the MSCA fellowship again, sucker for punishment. My current draftsummary as of 10 august is:
| AquaCurious: Cultivating Curiosity-Driven, Gameful Coalition Culture for Sustained Civic-Led Water Partnerships. I ask what capacities let civic and intermediary actors contribute to, rather than draw down, the care that sustains coalition-based water governance, and then work to design gameful approaches to nurture these capacities. AquaCurious bridges three fields: polycentric governance, gameful design, and feminist ethics of care, treating care-laden coordination labour as a design principle rather than a diversity problem to legitimise afterward. The design of a pocket park in Tampere serves as vehicle, anchoring the development of a design framework through iterative, workshop-tested engagement, using deep canvassing and behavioural coding of curiosity and cognitive labour. Gameful approaches that inspire the design include parkrun, already studied elsewhere as a coalition-governance actor and World of Warcraft guilds as holding structure. Outputs include a practitioner toolkit, ritual-template infrastructure recommendations, and a specific policy recommendation aimed at municipalities to pre-institutionalize mechanisms for intermediary and civic-actor participation. This proposal is aimed at converting my demonstrated but institutionally unrecognised leadership into sustainable, fundable independent practice. |
The idea is to have stuff happen in the three.js scene – like rain falling when you click the cloud, and then that updating in the Sankey diagram below that (see the mm increasing). It’s not much yet and meaningless at this point, Sao Miguel is also “sculpted not surveyed” which is an interesting approach I may explore more intentionally, but it’s not bad for about 2 hours of playing over the weekend. Damn, AI is scary.
Or maybe, ‘the Metaverse and all that shit.’ Anyways, this post is about my plans for 2019:
It’s confusing, isn’t it? They are mostly political terms, so the exact definitions are probably non-existent, but let’s settle for vague. I do think they’re different and important to distinguish, so here’s my stab at explaining what the differences are between bio-, green and the circular economy, and then I throw in water sensitive design as a bonus. Oh, and distributed. That’s what all of these have in common. This is just my opinion, of course.
