For the project I was given the option of two cities – Mount
Isa and Roma.
I chose to do a study of Mount Isa for a number of reasons:
1.
I had a limited but still more substantial
knowledge of Mount Isa compared to Roma
2.
I believed it presented a greater opportunity for
the assignment. In particularly historically and commercially i.e. can talk about
the mines
I think there is a lot to talk about with Mount Isa, I am a
little worried that due to its remote location that it might be hard to access
information. But I guess everyone else will have that problem because they are
doing cities if different countries.
The lecture that Mirko presented was very interesting. The
studio activity that can be seen below is I belive a great way to understand
how cities have developed and get across a large amount of information in
simple diagrammatic form. I believe the diagrams also highlight other keys
issues i.e. why the city has been built that way (typography influences etc) as
well as a clear influence that cultural factors play on the layout (eg.
colonial Europe). I will definitely be using these in the assignment to show
the growth of Mount Isa.
