A City of Voids?
An exploration of the sensorial experience of Limerick
 Exercise 3, Drawing Represention, Y4, SAUL

A compilation of explorations of Limerick city, to create a sensorial

experience of the city.

The city would be studied through the full spectrum of senses, to

examine how the recent growth has developed the city and demon-
strate the areas where voids have occurred.

Our perception of the city is dominated by the eye. Once relieved of

our sight, the city can be experiences in a new way; noises become
amplified, odours intensified and there is the rediscovery of a
sense of touch.

The publication would represent a dynamic engagement with the

everyday world, and should divulge the character of place shaped
by the interplay of senses.

Street lights
SIGHT Monuments lights
Houses
Surveillance cameras

Vision dominates our sensorial experience, without light the city experi-
ences is altered. Out of the fear of darkness came artificial light and with
that surveillance.

Nightclubs
SOUND Schools
Transport routes
Churchs

Every city has its own soundscape. The desired silence is unachievable
within the city context. The soundcape is in a constant state of flux as
factors of mechanical or digital devices change.

Factorys
SMELL Sewage Treatment works
Restaurants

As a result of a concentration of people and there activities, the contem-

porary city is full of smellscapes. These are often ignored as they are
difficult to represent in the form of visual data. The city has over gone a
process of sanitization, transforming the character and quality of public
spaces.

Water pollutions

TASTE Allotments

Farms Thesis, Publication Proposal.
Taste. The city of consumers is becoming increasingly detached from
food production. Through the history of the city, a process of sanitation
occurred slowly, yet traces of this process may still be visible.

Surfaces
TOUCH Building materials
Natural materials

The surfaces and materials give the city a character. Asphalt was be-
come the universal consolidator of the city’s ground; it signals the urban
environment. Asphalt which has evil and dispensable associations, has
lead the city away from the scale of the person to the functioning of the
car.
