Horizons Interrupted--Popular / Unpopular Spaces
Recording exterior typological spaces of Lubbock's built environment.
Within Lubbock there are many different types of public place. There are the spaces that become a part of everyone's daily routine, the popular, and there are spaces visited only by a very few, the unpopular. We can distill an understanding of our built context by critically looking at these two types of public spaces.
Popular:
Consider public spaces that best represent Lubbock and are frequently utilized in someone's everyday experience. Of those public spaces, identify two different types of spaces with varying characteristics, i.e. gas stations and grocery stores.
Unpopular:
If popular spaces are considered the front door access to Lubbock's house, then what are the public spaces that represent Lubbock's backdoor? These spaces are rarely visited by the public because people find little reason to go. With the unpopular in mind, document two different typological spaces that can be found in within Lubbock's loop.
