Brunswick “Mapping Moods for Future Cities”

In this workshop, we’re asking questions like: What’s the mood of the city? How might “mood” be used as a speculative tool to think about sustainable and resilient city design? How might a practice like “moodboarding” help citizens map Brunswick in ways that add creative, affective, textural ‘data’ for cities?

In this 2.5 hour workshop, we invite participants from various parts of the Moreland community to explore these questions with playful hands-on guided experiments. This workshop is the second of four workshops held in 2022 in a collaboration between DERC and RMIT’s new PlaceLab.

Please let us know if you would like to participate in a ‘Mapping Moods for Future Cities’ workshop, an initiative to explore how the maps of our cities might change if we included more affective information like moods.
