Schematic Hometown Mapping - Sharjah and BangaloreI've sketched models of two cities I have grown up in. Bangalore Ideas for a schematic map :
Sharjah Ideas for a schematic map :
Tracing a map of Sharjah's waterfront destinationsTracing and abstraction versionsThe shape of the waterfronts in Sharjah coincidentally resembles a set of waves. This was an apt metaphor for the waterfront life I want to show in the city. Here's how my tracing went
Adding elements of the cityI used Kevin Lynch's elements as a checklist and added some districts in different shades. I then used geometric motifs from window screens of the Khaleeji style to give each district a texture. This will subtly differentiate them without distracting too much from the layers that will follow. Thinking about aestheticsHere's a quick moodboard I made on the Khaleeji (Gulf) sense of life. RefiningNot much progress here but I am working on spot illustrations for the points of interest I completed the illustrations and I'm very close to finishing now. I was experimenting with 3 different layouts. Here's what the map with the inset would look like Final map |

Hi everyone,
As discussed, let’s make some schematic maps of our hometowns! You can find the slides from our class here & a video of my Outlier talk on this.
You can see some of the previous schematic map exercises for reference.
You can follow the following steps for your schematic map:
