focus for mapping: families on the street.


Here is another map image that looks a lot like the mind map I scribbled in class today. I love collecting images when I'm beginning to work on a project. The more map "like" images I see helps to visualize the map of the data I'm collecting. I found this image on this website. All hail Pentagram! The work is amazing.


Further research concludes that the housing foreclosure crisis has created a deluge of families that are now homeless. Portland is included in several articles that having an unusually high percentage of entire families living on the street or out of their car. I started a mind map in class today of the families on the street in relation to the foreclosure crisis. I am currently looking over this document for information.

    Hey Morgan,
    I am having alot of trouble posting a comment to your site, I hope it works this time, i have tried three times now. Sorry i missed class and valuable time we could have been working on the project. My boyfriends grandmother died and i had to bring him to the airport last minute. Anyways, i will post my research/ideas soon, so we can compare. What did i miss in class today?
