Abstract
Information Design: Envisioning Places Using Multiple Maps, Charts, and Digital Images
Track: Application Development
Author(s): Earl G. Bossard, Dali (Anlan) Zheng
This presentation introduces information design techniques and digital tools for area analysis using examples that envision neighborhoods with transit-oriented development potential. Context matters, so data is best understood in a comparative context. This presentation envisions the Hayward BART Station area using small multiple replicate maps, charts, and digital images. Place comparisons are made across space, time, and scale, building on Tuft's principles. Scales start with parcels and include blocks; areas within walking, bicycling, and driving distance; and the City, County, and SF metropolitan region. Analysis is facilitated by menus and hyperlinked connections between 150+ MB of PowerPoint files.
