The research begins....

I was absent from class today due to lack of funds so i decided to do a bit of research on the docks and their story and i found this website which seems to be dedicated to all things related to londons history of the docks, a valuble rescource for future planning methinks.

Lippard Reading

 

After reading through this with raz when he got back from uni I felt that lippard was trying to tell the reader that how ones surroundings can give them the sense of belonging and sentiment; I believe this relates to how the people in the docks lived in the past and how the community used working together as a valuable tool in etching their lives and forming a new society, the people of the docklands.

I believe a lot of the class struggled on the knowhow of the use in terminology and what lippard meant by this, but after some brainstorming on it we found it clear and productive towards the task we had to do for our project. (below is a photo of the brainstorming process)
