My Urban Environment

Hi, I'm a first year art and design student in LSAD. We were given a project on The Urban Environment so I started to work on it!
My first thoughts were to research where the city came from so I looked up what was in and around Limerick 100's of years ago such as King John's castle and drew them. Following that I started to focus on transport and how that developed as the city did, but it was a bit too much like a schoolgirl's history project.
I'm now focusing on the idea of maps. I've gotten old and new maps of Limerick and am planning on sometime layering them to show the growth but for now I'm making MY map of Limerick. As I don't know Limerick I'm making a map of my two major routes both on foot and in car, from Grove Island to Clare Street and Georges Quay and the bus stop that brings me home! In the map I'll show what I see of Limerick and my favourite parts!
So Tada!
