Route:

White cube mason’s yard
Thomas Heneage Art Books
Fortnum & Mason
SoHo square
Tottenham court road station

Inspirations:
1.Chairs in parks that have people’s name on it—the relationship of space and time(history)
2.lots of parks in London are small and square, it provides people a safe place to let their hair off during a busy workday, those squares are like the worm holes of the city, it’s a whole different world compared to the surrounding of the squares
3. I saw lots of cute stores in my trip, they are historic and detailed

documenting symbols appeared on my way.
A quite simple icon can tell a story. I might be interested in using symbols to form narratives.

(Picture1-4)

I followed a man in a blue scarf from the national gallery until he walked into an office building that I couldn't get into.

(Picture5-7)

Along the way, I found that many buildings in London were under construction, and there were several workers at almost every intersection.  I follow a group of workers into a McDonald's and order food to sit outside with them.  One of the workers seemed to be video chatting with his family, so I also made a video call to my family.

(Picture8)

This particular way of exploring made me feel like I was on an adventure, so I imagined a situation where I was being watched by the enemy but I had to leave clues for those who came to save me.  So I searched for special and unremarkable symbols along the way.

*3 sites which interested me:

(I especially like the hidden alleys or green spaces near the lively areas. They really connect everything like parallel time and space.)

On the way I found some very interesting graffiti and decorations and also a lot of symmetrical pairs of things, I think I was very interested in pairs of things because they gave me a very romantic feeling.

Notes：

1. Window Display Design

Window design is particularly important as part of brand advertising

This is on a sloping road.

In addition to the art gallery, there is also an art bookshop, which is an exceptionally quiet presence in the downtown area. The most important feature of this art gallery is the window design. (The same goes for the shops)

2. Art galleries where paintings are closely framed and where a painting is an art gallery.

3. Guide map : the city's many square squares seem to have the magic of cutting out the noise, where the chirping of birds can be heard clearly rather than the roar of cars. Occasionally non-human creatures can be seen moving through the trees.
