Digital Placemaking

This project aims to develop interactive maps, where students, stuff, and alumni can share their memories about a physical space: a university campus. We propose creating several digital maps of the LSE for past decades, where individuals associated with the university can map their memories with current or past physical spaces around the campus. The visualization of historical and current transformation of this physical landscape will potentially promote ties in this community of association and contribute to the growing body of work on collaborative memory and geo-socially located imaginaries.
