Introducing the Bad Kerb Map of Wapping

The Bad Kerb Map is an attempt to crowdsource information about barriers to mobility for wheelchair users and parents with buggies in and around Wapping in East London.

The project was started by architect John Inglis, after a discussion hosted by network Wapping, a grassroots group looking to promote neighbourhood planning in the area. The map, which includes photos of problem junctions geo-located on Google Maps, was launched with a series of photos taken by John Inglis using a typical camera phone.

Using Photosynth Desktop to Create DIY Streetviews

Photosynth Desktop allows you to stitch together photographs from many viewpoints and move between them in real time. In theory, this could be used to create home-made, DIY versions of Google's Streetview. This article looks at Studio 425's attempt to create a home made Streetview of Watney Market, in East London.

Photosynth Desktop builds on the panorama software and smart-phone apps, reviewed by Studio 425 in February 2013. The Desktop software create 'synths' composed of multiple 2 dimensional photographs. The software creates a virtual model of the photographed scene and displays the whole scene as a series of overlapping images.

We are pleased to present these original graphics representing the future population of East London and the Thames Gateway.

The figures are based on population projections produced by the Office of National Statistics and were produced by John Inglis.
