l the data have been combined together to show the whole fluctuations of the occupancy rate of the accommodations in Auckland CBD.

B :: Stage 1 - Demographics Overview

At this stage, I was focusing on how to transfer the data into graphic design. 4D information had been transferred to 2D images.

A :: Stage 4 - Collecting Data (occupancy rate)

2009-10-21T18:39:00.002+13:00

Since it is hard to find individual data about each occupancy rate of each accommodation in Auckland CBD, I have visited almost all the apartments, hostels & backpackers, hotels and university accommodation and asked the staff here about the occupancy rate. I only got the generate fluctuations because of the confidential issues.

For me, the biggest challenge is to visualize the data and represent the mapping project.

I have found some stunning examples of data visualization from the website http://webdesignledger.com/inspiration/15-stunning-examples-of-data-visualization

HOW?

2009-08-19T21:20:00.007+12:00

1 Mapping all the locations of main accommodation in Auckland Central

2 Collecting the information and data about the Auckland CBD demographics

3 Collecting the data about the rate of the accommodation occupancy in Auckland CBD

4 In the end, I am going to viualise the data and represent the mapping project

WHY?

2009-08-19T21:05:00.011+12:00

Demographics in Auckland CBD is quite different from other parts of Auckland City and Auckland Region.

-According to the records from Statistics NZ, one of five people in NZ was born out of NZ. One of three people in Auckland Region was born out of NZ. One of two people in Auckland CBD was born out of NZ.

- Most CBD residents have lived at their usual residence for less than 5 years.

- 32% of the residents were students. The proportion of single young people is much higher than Auckland City and Regional proportions.

- A high concentration of Asian ethnic groups, and low proportions of Maori and Pacific Peoples.

- More tourists chose Auckland as their first destination when they came to NZ and more international students than other places in NZ, the fluctuation of the flowing population is amazingly changed a lot.

It would be very interesting to relate the demographics to the accommodation in Auckland CBD area, to find out how the population changed in the inner city.

Mapping Project Topic

I am going to map the changing nature of Auckland CBD demographics, e.g. the change of the numbers of foreign visitors, tourists and international students etc., and further relating this to actual fluctuations in places of accommodation.

The concept of the topic is from the readings in first three weeks. Data is not just statistic figure, but could indicate the everyday life in the city.

Mapping the unmappable - Allen, S.

Collective
Notations presume a social context, and shared conventions of interpretation. The score is not a work itself, but a set of instructions for performing a work. A score cannot be a private language. It works instrumentally to coordinate the actions of multiple performers who collectively produce the work as even. As a model for operating in the city, the collective character of notation is highly suggestive. Going beyond transgression and cross-programming, notations could function to map the complex and indeterminate theater of everyday life in the city. The use of notation marks a shift from the production of space to the performance of space.

Else/Where - Abrams, J. and Hall, P.

Data/Space
The mapped “space” under consideration here ranges vast from information space (grasping patterns within vast quantities of data) to physical space (navigating the city, region or globe) to social space (representing power relations within and between organizations, whether corporate cultural, political or even covert).
