We found out the north wall gets great light; the trucks come in from the west side; and the glass building can be appropriated for ad-hock purposes in case power runs out. We also figured it would make sense to let the voices of the management position themselves in spots where voices are currently louder.

Mapping Homeless People Around Union Park NYC

Indy's Union Square Pirate Treasure Hunt

Our team broke into two groups holding poster boards asking people to provide their weirdest, or most fun, story of Union Square. Stories were captured as Youtube videos, or transcribed to text. Participants were asked for permission, and given a Hershey Kiss for their story.

ICCM 2014 Union Square Local vs. Tourist Map We collected data about local versus tourist usage in and surrounding area of Union Square. We primarily focused on permanent structures, local stores, as well as key features throughout the park. Methodology When able, we directly asked owners or employees of the store to estimate what percentage of their business was local vs. tourist. When no one was available, we asked people using the feature whether they were locals or tourists. This was documented on a 1-5 scale, 1 being local, and 5 being tourist.
