Aim

An inquiry about the intricate inter-species social arrangement present within the urban.
A spatial scrutiny of the urban context to grasp an accurate comprehension of the ways in which the urban is perceived by said street animal.

Dominant Concepts

Various paradigms like laws, culture, human values may emphasise on the variety of negotiated spaces and ways of negotiation
Rejected material, spaces, items, persons, events are key doorways/barriers which enable/allow/curb interaction
Inquiring spatial qualities of the ‘stage’ of interaction, which has an effect on the psyche of the street animal, may help a human understand the dynamics of the urban as perceived by the street animal.

Identification of ‘narratives’ within the urban to understand negotiations which allow a coexisting arrangement. ‘Narratives’ being series of interaction stories emerging from field studies
Highlighting ‘enablers’ to establish the boundaries/doorways to understand the negotiations
Build comparisons amongst a handful of different typologies of spaces in the urban to speculate how the social arrangement exists at a macro scale (city level)

Cluster sampling of the street animal(s) which is/are identified within the context of each narrative. (‘street animals’ limited to street dogs and street cats)
To include study of each individual from each sampled cluster

40 odd narratives presented as elevational lengths which diagram the stage/scene/context where the interaction is ‘performed’.
Walkthroughs from the animal’s POV through a 3D representation of the context with nodes which metaphorically (and digitally) stain the environment with notions, perceptions, impressions.
Plans marking these notions, depicting the plethora of overlapping sensations, chart either the presumed actions of the animal, or provide proof for the animal’s behaviour.
Thermal comfort analysis of the spaces occupied by the animals and the site in general
Comparative chart highlighting key differences in perceptions.
