fieldwork findings

Assignment #3

QUALIFY YOUR FINDINGS

Based on the fieldwork findings we qualified our observations based on themes that caught our attention. I was interested in the variety of ways the cities in Finnmark look at their future and how this is expressed in the things that can be seen in the cityscapes. The first part shows with one sentence the official plans (what they say) and the second part, the collages, show my impression of these places (what can be seen).
