Inviting residents to co-create a map of ideas. Stories of the past, observations of the present and visions for the future of their town.
The digital map began as a 3D, scaled representation of Penryn but without any architectural features. Outcomes from the different workshops were then integrated, according to location, into the map
We also used more traditional methods, using a giant Ordnance Survey map covering a whole wall, inviting residents to pin their memories of the past, observations of now and ideas for the future.
We have now made it possible to insert flags/comments into the CGI map. Some people still prefer the physicality of the flag pins and the threads that run across the map to their contributions.

Collaboration with education
