February 8th Class Notes
***DISCLAIMER***
The notes I have taken are what I heard and how I interpreted it. These notes do not cover 100% of everything that was said in class and not word for word. Some things on here have the possibility to be wrong. I am only human.
NOTE: Clicking words that are highlighted like this (Google) will open a new tab and take you to a website with a description/helpful explanation or save you time from searching things like Zotero and etc.
Today in class we discussed:
- Types of research

Built Environment Project

Aural = Sounds you hear. Ex: Kids playing in a park, sounds of the swings.

Tone = The effect of the space on you. How it makes you feel. What the author uses. Ex: Space makes you feel cold or its inviting.
Visual = The things you see. Ex: Traffic, buses etc.
Organization = How things are laid out. Ex: Where sidewalks/trails go, how buildings are spread out, bus stops.
