a pixelated port

as a more intense look at the port, i zoomed in on the many crates and containers found there. these containers are the manner by which goods pass through the port. i manipulated images and sketches of them in order to bring them closer to what appear to be pixelated images. these images strip away certain unnecessary visual data and stress the effects of both alternating colors and densities. i chose to view the port in this manner because of the problem our site faces. we can view the port as an image that is not yet clear, as there are many possible future plans, some more certain than others. we can contrastingly view barcelona's more developed city core as a clear image, representing carefully executed plans over the past years. i also view the port as a collaboration between many different forces. these forces are not only the different types of services available in the port area, but are also broken down into subcategories within their own groups. it only seems appropriate that it could be compared to the same way in which many different pixels create an image our eyes recognize. while some parts of the image the port creates are more clear to our eyes, other parts could be seen as blurry, or even invisible. it's our job the develop those ideas into a successful, crisp plan for the area.
