Field recording, sound mapping and audio production
Often during site study the visual and the tactile of the space are the focus of the investigation. The other aspects such as familiar sounds and smells tend to fade into the background because they are taken for granted. Other

Did Hockley need to be lost to be found?
In making records of Hockley Flyover, a site of ‘grade separation’ where one highway is carried over another, we attempt to evaluate the past, present and future built form to ask ‘what is the impact of urban regeneration on our

Mapping and Manipulating
With ‘Grade Seperation’ in mind we are using Hockley Underpass, in Birmingham as a precedent. As part of the digital/tangible subgroup we have mapped elements of a sculpture by William Mitchell that forms part of the boundary of the underpass.
