Thoughts and reflections upon the architecture, St Georges Square.

Whilst I have been focusing on themes of representation I thought it would be useful to step back and think about the resonance of buildings how they are used, for instance, this could be for working in, or living in, and it is the context in which it is used which makes a particular building important.

The Huddersfield Railway Station has once been called "a Stately home that houses trains."

Whilst I have done quite this an extensive bit of historical research into the context, the events, politics, rugby league etc and including the thoughts of the transient space or liminal space, I've spent time watching people, in different ways, such as types of movement, individuality and so on.

Do people choose a nice subject because of its purpose, or because of its aesthetics?

Perhaps others have chosen to study the market or other purposeful buildings within these, you can detect the vibrancy of the groups of people.  The ambience of trade etc. etc.
 But I keep coming back to the concept of the space in front of the station.  Huddersfield railway station was built around 1850 during the height of the Victorian era.   Huddersfield Library and Gallery is marking the age of the 1950s and the Modernist, whereas the Queen Street Market was also made as an architectural statement to but this was during the post modern era.

Perhaps I should refocus on St George's square and upon the idea of plotting the chewing gum.  I need to create a process.  It creates an element of chance, but controlled. Perhaps I could set some rules, that someone else could follow?  However at the moment the concept of using chewing gum to recreate star constellations seems to be very thin.  Maybe I could creates the plot in a different way by marking and charting peoples spit? In other words a Spit Map.  This could be considered a map of something useful.  There is a sense of ephemeral reality in chewing gum.  There is a transitory stage or transient existence in chewing gum, simply because the local Huddersfield Council removes the gum time to time.

Liaden Cook, during our tutorial today suggested I looked at the Cabinet magazine has within it.  This last month was an article about constellations.
