Week 3 - Body, Space, City
300-500 Word Texts
When I was exploring the experience of my body in relation to space and time in city, I had different feeling to week-day and weekend. On both days I went out on similar time, at Lunch time. Firstly, my main focus of this journey was the stairs around city centre.
My journey started from the Town hall Station. Walking up the stairs had strong relationship to my leg and to the stairs. The interconnection of my leg and stairs got me up to the ground level of the city. This stairs are used a lot by people around, getting out of the station and getting into the station, it has strong relationship to our daily life. As I walked up to Hyde Park I saw few stairs that are not used by the public only used for people who are related to that building, such as people who work there or people who visit there. This big wide open stairs going under the building has no relation to my body but it has relation to the space that is around me. When I got to the Hyde Park I walked along Park Street to William Street and along these streets there where different types of stairs which gives different image of entrance to the park. Some stairs had only few steps and some had more to get to the top, also some stairs are round but some stairs are like normal stairs we see a lot. These stairs had different feeling of relation to my body when I went passed them. Since both week-day and weekend had a very good weather, my body tend to like the shaded stairs to cool my body down from the hot sun. When I walked down to the intersection of College Street, across the road it had different style of stairs to the Hyde Park stairs. It was more modern and sharp. When I walked pass this stairs, I had very open and hard edge feeling to the space.
The journey on both days had similar feeling but the space around these places that I walked along had more lively mood on weekend. More people were out because of glimmering weather. Also since it was weekend there were a lot of families out and group of friends and couples, they were related to the Hyde Park and city space as well but in different meaning to what I felt.
