Spatializing Sweetwater

 
 

Spatializing Sweetwater

YEAR: 2019
TYPE: Graduate, Fellowship
LOCATION: Chicago, IL, USA  
COLLABORATORS: MIT Create - Kate Mytty, Sweetwater Foundation - Emmanuel Pratt


_Description
The graphic above is part of a case study of the Sweetwater Foundation [SWF] Campus between 1999 - 2019 that I completed during my fellowship. To create the graphic, I overlaid satellite imagery of the campus for each year to exemplify and synthesize how SWF’s campus has grown over time. Key maps that have influenced SWF’s expansion include the 1940 HOLC Redlining Map and 2019 Large Lot Program Map which have similarly been spatialized.

_Research Question
How can we render invisible communities visible?
