TEMPLATE: Please use InDesign files 11″ x 11″.

The below outline is firm unless you get confirmation from me in writing otherwise. Please think about how people will understand the work.

Overall project graphics and color coordination must be evident now by ideas and sub-ideas:

2. INTRODUCTION / PURPOSE: IDENTIFY PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES TO URBAN HEALTH IN BARCELONA

Purpose Sentences as typed paragraph:
- What is the problem/challenge of urban health in Barcelona today, how is it applied to Superillas and social interaction?
- Who is affected (be as specific as possible);
- Why is it important, including social value? (highlight key words) Consider social issues and ecological issues (air, water, light, heat, animals and green light).
Social Interaction Theoretical Framework: Choose a Primary category of Uses, Demographic or Infrastructure. Choose a subcategory.
Chart from Idea to Indicators: List qualities (processes) and indicate with a symbol if it is a fixed urban quality or an urban phenomena (human or natural)? Consider 1 indicator for each quality (see J of Urbanism).
- Choose 1-2 geometry inputs? (parcel area, height, sidewalk width, rail, bike, waterway)
  - Hint: see OSM/ELK. This will lead to unit diagrams at GPS data point locations.
- Small thumbnail pictures and/or narrow texture of swatch of qualitative image/material perhaps hinting at final output. Graphic hints: set the tone for the unit and highlight color here

02 BACKGROUND: Context

Outline: Diagram and or Google Sheet of Purpose / Primary and Secondary categories / Qualities / Indicators (history) / On-site or Off-Site / Fixed or Phenomena
Literature Review: (3) 2 paragraph of theory / reading (Password: Barcelona). Specific Paragraph 1 (hour glass): 1) idea; 2) citation; 3) further idea. General Paragraph 2: 3 sentences explaining how this applies to your project. **Address ideas from the reading that include but are not limited to: Rueda’s idea of Superilles and mobility systems; Sola Morales’s ideas on how the Eixample Plan Cerda and Gracia works; Corner’s idea of adaptability with specificity; Jacob’s idea of unpredictability; Schartz’s idea of scenarios; Guallart’s idea of self-sufficiency (post); Helle Soholt and Jan Gehl’s ideas of walkability (youtube); or other ideas from the readings.
Research Superilles and current Barcelona health and livability problems/challenges: 1- 3 recent articles as quotations or informational statistics (El Periodico, El Pais, other) (FYI, City of Barcelona is Ajuntament de Barcelona; Catalan Government is Generalitat).
Comparative Statistics (graphs and Charts, Open Data Barcelona): Infographics to set a quantitative baseline big picture to small picture indicators to follow. Research climate information by month or season such as precipitation, temperature highs and lows, relative humidity, wind direction and speed, animal migration. Research effects of human behavior such as sources of sound pollution (discos, tourists, terraces, schools), air pollution (terraces, construction, restaurant hours), light pollution (cars, commerces).

03 BACKGROUND: Quantitative and Qualitative Baseline (statistics and info-graphics)

Outline: Diagram and or Google Sheet of Purpose / Categories / Qualities / Indicators (history) / On-site or Off-Site / Fixed or Phenomena
Literature Review: (3) quotations of theory / reading (Password: Barcelona). **Address ideas from the reading that include: downtown urbanism; Latour’s idea of attachment; Morales’s ideas on how the Eixample Plan Cerda works; Corner’s idea of adaptability with specificity; Jacob’s idea of unpredictability; Schartz’s idea of scenarios; Guallart’s idea of self-sufficiency (post); Jan Gehl’s ideas of walkability (post); or other ideas from the readings.

Research effects of human behavior such as sources of sound pollution (discos, tourists, terraces, schools), air pollution (terraces, construction, restaurant hours), light pollution (cars, commerces).
Sensors (on-site): What sensors might be helpful? +Find online an example with script and prototype diagram. ++Inventory what you will need. + Real-time Data (off-site): What databases exist? website (ex. wind surfing, BCN sound, weather, PurpleAir)
