mrs. Chang I'm back at the ground floor
of the fair and I'm here with the
details about yourself I am my name is
Sarah I am from the Graduate School of
Design I'm taking the urban design
student master to prevent the sign and
my current concentration is looking at
affordable housing inequality in cities
and how we can build more housing and
equity for cities it's a big problem
yeah let's take a look at your project
so my project was that nice Angeles s it
pays for introducing this sort of
affordable housing problems and one of
the things that I started as ages a lot
of jolliest Adam that kind of introduces
the spatial concentration of the housing
so if you zoom out on my website you can
see that there's metro stations and a
different type of housing that are
introducing Los Angeles so let's say I'm
gonna look at the homeless housing
projects again I can click on that and
it gives me all the information about
the project I can then if I want to know
what's happening in my neighborhood I
can always turn
and like finds out exactly where the
project is and it gives you the exact
address
I can then overlap other surprising
developments and same thing I can click
on it and it gives me sort of
information about it and inventory
housing so what's actually in the
pipeline for the project so here I can
click on it again and it gives me all
the information for I've always really
liked visualizations like you can see
patterns visually that like looking at
like spreadsheets will never get a few
data sets are these from anywhere
particular they were in the form of GIS
data that were transformed an excel
sheet that was used to place through
FEMA through mapping mid interfaces to
create this seems like an interesting
technical problem that we didn't cover
it at first but glad you made it work
yes so did you have priors yes
background before this first sorry I
actually never even looked at a card I
used to look at a curtain just freak out
now I can look at it right and be like
oh that's interesting what inspired your
what motivated so I finally take a leap
into yes well I was in San Francisco for
my internship and summer and what I
found so interesting is how technology
is taking over there ever had there been
like the urban places
and in cities how it's becoming like
really sort of knitted into the urban
fabric and like how cities operate and
it's just becoming a really important
component so but I always found this
sort of disconnect between urban
designers and computer scientists so
hopefully by me understanding this sort
of language of programming I can bridge
this sort of guy yeah that seems well
needed they for talking today thank you
thanks for coming along back to you
