Jin-Kyu Jung and Ted Hiebert publish “Imagining the Details: Happy Places and Creative Geovisualization”

IAS faculty members Jin-Kyu Jung and Ted Hiebert published “Imagining the Details: Happy Places and Creative Geovisualization” in Livingmaps Review. “Imagining the Details” explores the imagination as a social gesture and a way to creatively and empathically engage with and around questions of homelessness and urban precarity. The paper shares contextualizing thoughts and design strategies for a project currently in the final stages of development, using multimodal forms of data alongside the metaphor of the “happy place” as a catalyst for imagining some of the complexities of urban precarity.
