As an exercise we decided to walk around our study area several times, and afterwards to draw a metal map of what it was the more significant things for us. This drawing is my perception of the Karlsplatz station; its several levels, layers, lights, colors, textures and furthermore how people use the space and move, what we called “their everyday paths”. I found out that one of the most predominate activity was “the waiting”. When people tend to not looking at the space that they are into but to instead talk on the phone the whole time, text or read. Somehow it seems that they don’t even realize who is besides them or what’s going on in the station, makes you wonder if you ask them to draw their everyday landscape, how much detail would it have? Do they even look at their every landscape? Do they even consider the Station a Landscape?
