One down, 39,136 to go: the explorers who walk every street in their city | Walking | The Guardian
You don’t really know an urban landscape until you’ve visited all of it on foot – from slums to beauty spots. Just ask the thousands of ‘every-single-streeters’ Source: One down, 39,136 to go: the explorers who walk every street in their city | Walking | The Guardian
The Secret of Seattle’s Disappearing Hill
On this virtual walk, we will explore Seattle’s most famous land alteration project: the complete removal of a hill in the downtown area. Through a series of illustrations and maps and historic photos, we’ll virtually cover about 1.5 miles circumnavigating the old hill in the area known as the Denny Regrade, where Amazon’s campus is
Listening All Along the Watchtower
A Culture Days Soundwalk Vancouver’s Cambie Street bisects through the centre of our city, weaving together various facets of daily urban life, while also mirroring similar development pressures in our Regional District and elsewhere. The City of Vancouver acknowledges the importance of the Cambie Corridor as a significant aspect of a sustainable, livable city comprised of
Guided by language
Through the process of dérive we will wander through the city looking for compelling pieces of text which complement or are in conflict with each other either aesthetically or thematically. Participants will take photos of language they encounter in order to create a collective visual collage where text is prominently featured. A walkshop with Jack Williams (Poland).

• This project consists of a sonic mapping of birdsong in the La Perla area, in the city of Mar del Plata, in Argentina.
The work focuses on pointing out the different ‘sound territories’, defined by the different songs. The map invites the passerby, the listener, to take note of the place through those sounds.
The map was constructed through the identification of these sound territories, or ‘sound points’, and include particular trees and urban structures, each examples where the songs of local birds are concentrated.
This is a foldable map, like a typical tourist map, and it guides the participant through the neighbourhood’s sonority, operating as a guide to the species of birds and to the trees that give them shelter.
The project will include sign posts at each location bearing the notice: “Listen. Here, birds sing.”.
The recordings are published online as a sound heritage archive of the neighborhood.
