After yet another day of witnessing the wasteland being used for a multiplicity of activities; a set for a film, a BBQ place, a vegetable garden, a thoroughfare (to name but a few). I set myself the simple task of drawing a map, crude and quick, a simple way to attempt to gather some overview on the innumerable layers and narratives of this of this place. This lead me to thinking about 'For Space' by geographer and social scientist Doreen Massey.
For the future to be open, space must be open too.
Massey, D. (2005) For Space. London: Sage.
In Massey's eyes 'places do not have single identities but multiple ones. Places are not frozen in time, they are processes. Places are not enclosures with a clear inside and outside.'
