Circulations Through Pratt

What would Pratt look like if it were one of Calvino’s Invisible Cities?

1. What would it be called?  How would you describe it?
2. Take a 20 minute tour of campus or an area on or around campus.
3. Take at least 10 photos that capture the tour of your Invisible City.
4. Consider other ways of documenting the “invisible” and use those where applicable.
5. Take notes about the features of that “city” and give your tour of Pratt a title that is based on Calvino's cities.
6. Return to the Classroom and discuss.
7. Rewrite in Calvino-style language and incorporate your photos (and any other spatial documentation you’ve captured)
8. Create at least two "versions" of Pratt as Invisible City using two different categories from Calvino. Collect and integrate necessary documentation.

1. Klovivk. The city with stations that many stop to look at. Each place stays the same. It does not move, but the paths are created by the individuals.

4. Documentation through photography.

5. City of Memory

7. Stations sporadically placed throughout a mapped area. Everyone walks through these spaces to reach a certain station, but no one walks to the same station after each day. From one point to another. Each place has a written memory. An essence of the body. As the person crosses from one station to another, a pathway is created. A web of lines. From point A to point B to point C. They walk and walk. They do not stop and they themselves forget the intersections they created the last day, week, or month.

8. City of Trade. They cross paths until their paths become foreign. They pass off their past to each other like a football at a game.
