Description:

Sheet details the statistical analysis of the people questioned about their birth place in area 2. Sheet shows map of area 2 and the houses questioned as well as the stats for the number questioned/contacts per house. From a set of boards detailing a survey for resident’s place of birth, the study was conducted at 8 sites (areas 1-8) and the work here is of 7 of the areas and a board showing the results. All have been constructed on paper (collage and drawing) and then backed using a thicker board. The pieces have a riveted hole in each corner. Printed using black red and blue ink. Project was once housed in a cover constructed from a cardboard box, but due to the space available/condition of the card, it has not been placed inside a plastic wallet. Part of the Village Urban Analysis Study undertaken by Second Year architectural students in academic session 1968-69.
