	Introduction
	Mapping Elsewheres is a body of work about understanding the familiar and the foreign. It is about our relationship with physical and non-physical ‘Elsewheres.’ In a world that is increasingly compressed, urban and social spaces begin to overlap. Our everyday become prone to duplications, generalizations, and geographical / cultural slippages—such normalized phenomenas shape the world we know today. 



&#60;img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2bad4caa7c4abf5fad611280a481918d91b1790c36d4c73267040ff282139611/IMG_1906.jpg" data-mid="48997111" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2bad4caa7c4abf5fad611280a481918d91b1790c36d4c73267040ff282139611/IMG_1906.jpg" /&#62;
	
	My line of inquiry started at home, questioning something I grew up overlooking. CitraLand&#60;img alt="" src="https://www.lamudi.co.id/journal/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/CitraLand-Surabaya.jpg"&#62; is a growing 5000 acre development&#38;nbsp;in Surabaya, Indonesia, about 15 miles from the city’s downtown. Neatly lined trees, coffee shops, international schools decorate this expanse of land on the west side of Surabaya. Their marketing slogan—‘The Singapore of Surabaya’—boasts a utopic neighborhood modeled after Singapore, a city-state 
 850 miles away&#60;img alt="" src="http://static01.nyt.com/images/2010/11/29/world/asia/29Surabaya_map/29Surabaya_map-popup.jpg"&#62;. 
Growing up with frequent visits to Surabaya, CitraLand’s ambitious slogan was certainly not puzzling enough to ruminate over. Now looking back, I begin to question the logic of this ‘city-within-a-city’ concept.Is it actually possible to transplant a city to another completely different country? If so, how?&#38;nbsp;
What are the characteristics of a city that allows it to be duplicated, mimicked, or aspired to?If globalization and technology bring people and places closer, can the ‘here’ and ‘there’ eventually&#38;nbsp;overlap?&#38;nbsp;
What aesthetics, concepts, and ways of seeing are introduced when boundaries that govern the local / global collapse?
&#60;img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44ad4fa810bcb2b9a459875e7db3057a3092bba9cecef255f062a351aa1064e5/IMG_1752.jpg" data-mid="48997170" border="0" data-scale="67" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44ad4fa810bcb2b9a459875e7db3057a3092bba9cecef255f062a351aa1064e5/IMG_1752.jpg" /&#62;1 Miniature Eiffel Tower at Pakuwon Trade Center, Surabaya, Indonesia

Taking examples just from Surabaya, there were many more instances where the ‘Elsewhere’ seeps into the local. At a mall, a miniature Eiffel Tower1 sits in the middle of the plaza, next to pet stores and gaming cafes. 
As the world becomes increasingly ‘smaller,’ what other things have we been conditioned to think is normal?

	Many ideas in this Degree Project stem from questions with a lack of direct answers.

This forum-like platform allows for space where people attempt to make sense of concepts rarely looked into—an approach to understanding ‘Elsewhere’ that goes beyond quantitative information (e.g. coordinates, demographic data).&#38;nbsp;The booklet’s structure reflects the stair-step quality of forums. Each answer to a question is another indent and another color. At the bottom of the page, the numbers indicated the order of the answer.

	The “Eiffel” Index 
	Monuments are used to commemorate, celebrate, or symbolize. Often times it is the very core to the identity of a place. 
What happens when a monument—like the Eiffel Tower&#60;img width="400" height="666" width_o="400" height_o="666" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5c4d332f419068e884598f03d232bf0f3ce2e74e4765ddc5c6b9101ad79be262/eiffel-small.gif" data-mid="50241948" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/5c4d332f419068e884598f03d232bf0f3ce2e74e4765ddc5c6b9101ad79be262/eiffel-small.gif" /&#62; —is replicated and reinterpreted all around the world? As globalization prevails and far away places become less foreign, cultures become less distinct—what is once thought to be unique to one city, may be copied and implemented in another. In this archive of Eiffel Towers, the absurdity of the ‘Eiffel’ in China&#60;img width="750" height="500" width_o="750" height_o="500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/743f6cfbccc88e1d42386e4346b1804c017eed27c2a21baae8144247fb9a8064/12_Tianducheng_Replica_Eiffel_Tower.jpg" data-mid="50242035" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/750/i/743f6cfbccc88e1d42386e4346b1804c017eed27c2a21baae8144247fb9a8064/12_Tianducheng_Replica_Eiffel_Tower.jpg" /&#62;, in a mall&#60;img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44ad4fa810bcb2b9a459875e7db3057a3092bba9cecef255f062a351aa1064e5/IMG_1752.jpg" data-mid="50242080" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44ad4fa810bcb2b9a459875e7db3057a3092bba9cecef255f062a351aa1064e5/IMG_1752.jpg" /&#62;, on another building&#60;img width="480" height="640" width_o="480" height_o="640" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df3682a0386f4bff710c5d958d35581478eaf3e3c3240d594a8986ae9207b4ff/23_AWA.jpg" data-mid="50242038" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/480/i/df3682a0386f4bff710c5d958d35581478eaf3e3c3240d594a8986ae9207b4ff/23_AWA.jpg" /&#62;, opens up the idea of a shared monument—the Eiffel Tower™ as a transferable concept, wherever and whatever it may be.

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://dp2019.work/SohoSohoSoho</guid>

		<description>SohoSohoSohoSoho is a district in many cities around the world, most commonly known is&#38;nbsp;Soho London 

&#60;img alt="" src="https://img.theculturetrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/liberty.jpg"&#62; 

(the oldest), Soho Manhattan 
 &#60;img alt="" src="https://loving-newyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Soho-NYC-things-to-do-161031100517013.jpg"&#62; 


and Soho Hong Kong &#60;img alt="" src="https://img.theculturetrip.com/1440x807/smart/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ex9763.jpg"&#62;.




The name Soho has muddy origins; no one seems to know where the name Soho derives from: Soho London allegedly was a hunting cry; Soho Manhattan was perhaps short for ‘South of Houston’. However, they all seem to suffer the same fate. Most Sohos are gentrified and decorated with bars, clubs, restaurants and hipsters. 

In seeing the pattern across these Soho(s), would it be possible to find the essence of Soho? A set of vocabulary was created by scanning through Wikipedia pages of each Soho, scraping its unique and common keywords. Just like how the Eiffel Tower &#60;img width="2988" height="2172" width_o="2988" height_o="2172" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb92e0e7b78583d043514aa4686ec74d1285fa9927015addd922c73ae0365e71/eiffel.png" data-mid="48997715" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb92e0e7b78583d043514aa4686ec74d1285fa9927015addd922c73ae0365e71/eiffel.png" /&#62;   is a shared architectural concept by its derivatives, do these words create an imperfect blueprint/recipe for a Soho district? 

Soho’s unclear naming origins also question the relationship between name and place. Does the naming of a place affect its purpose, use and physicality? In the world of real estate, strategic naming is not a foreign concept (such as the naming of East Williamsburg). &#60;img width="800" height="602" width_o="800" height_o="602" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50a72b549d5710dda1d1e3aa4c149972deda2673a65911daf826e3e32cf233ff/east-will-2.png" data-mid="49331531" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/50a72b549d5710dda1d1e3aa4c149972deda2673a65911daf826e3e32cf233ff/east-will-2.png" /&#62;  

Like the saying, ‘dress for the job you want’, it seems as though toponyms have a similar kind of power—a power to establish what kind of place it would be.
&#60;img width="1500" height="799" width_o="1500" height_o="799" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/38d5dce2b128731ca9bf7e145a2b8ebd4a45b623ea147cabd5881cf4cc2b2aaf/soho-title.gif" data-mid="49268622" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/38d5dce2b128731ca9bf7e145a2b8ebd4a45b623ea147cabd5881cf4cc2b2aaf/soho-title.gif" /&#62;

		<description>New York, New York

	

One of the over-arching themes in this Degree Project is about the normalized ways of understanding. 
More often than not, we navigate our cities through numerical data—through coordinates, street numbers, ETA, price of an Uber ride. Part of the process of defamiliarizing the ‘normal,’ is to look at it with fresh eyes—or in this case, fresh ears. 
How can we take what is familiar and make it feel as foreign as ‘Elsewhere’? What would happen if maps were rewired and a different kind of data was plugged in? Instead of specific addresses, this digital experience uses songs named after streets and avenues of New York City, embedding music—that is activated by proximity—into Google maps.&#38;nbsp;

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://dp2019.work/Welcome-To-Springfield</guid>

		<description>Welcome to Springfield
The purpose of naming is to identify a person, animal, place, or thing. Ironically, most of the time, names aren’t unique at all. There are 33 Springfields in the United States, making it one of the country’s most common city name. 

Do these Springfields have anything in common because they share the same name? This video draws upon the concept of the franchise-able American town. Every American town seems to have the same core parts. Even to those not from the United States, these neighborhoods feel familiar. Street-corners, gas stations, houses, are things you’ve probably seen elsewhere—maybe from a childhood home, maybe from TV.&#38;nbsp;
It may be physically impossible to export architecture, but it is possible to export ideas. Post-war United States exported it’s suburban way of life, resulting in the adoption of American architecture, products, and culture across the globe. Ideas can manifest anywhere, in the form of monuments, cities, or communities. 
 It wouldn’t be surprising if Springfields existed outside the United States.&#38;nbsp;</description>

	Portrait of America

	

From prehistoric cave paintings to old family photos, remnants of images and writings have been used to understand another life. In a thousand years, or if extraterrestrial life were to try to understand us right now, what artifacts would they find and how would they interpret us, our architecture, our habits and our homes? 

The pictograms in the Bank of America portal  &#60;img alt="" src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2625368a42f9a7086613fc1adf489fce6b5a541bcac69140e223073eb0272a8a/Screen-Shot-2019-05-21-at-11.17.02-PM.png"&#62; for check customization is meant to comprehensively cater for all their customers—their diverse backgrounds, professions and hobbies. If someone had no knowledge of America (if America was their ‘Elsewhere’) what would they decipher out of this collection of pictograms? 
And how can we trust that it would accurately represent the full extent of America—whatever ‘America’ may be?

The Golden Record 
  &#60;img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Voyager_Golden_Record_fx.png"&#62;

was a collection of sounds and images of Earth launched into space, in hopes that intelligent life might find it. NASA describes the endeavor as ‘a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials.’ But who is telling it, and whose story is being told? 


BofA’s collection of pictograms may have the intension of being inclusive, but upon closer inspection it reveals an unexpectedly curated reading of America—a narrative of its landscape, its people and its values.&#38;nbsp;

In this age of rapid information distribution, ‘regional’ music—and even monuments &#60;img width="2988" height="2172" width_o="2988" height_o="2172" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb92e0e7b78583d043514aa4686ec74d1285fa9927015addd922c73ae0365e71/eiffel.png" data-mid="49268793" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb92e0e7b78583d043514aa4686ec74d1285fa9927015addd922c73ae0365e71/eiffel.png" /&#62; —can travel beyond the geographical boundaries of its local origins. 
American Country music is just one example of this. Music is a narrative, a feeling, and an access point that connects us to an ‘Elsewhere’. It is a product of culture during a time when cultures aren’t as siloed anymore, where parts are borrowed and exchanged.

		<description>The Generic City




Rem Koolhaus’ writing on the Generic City&#38;nbsp;&#60;img width="1328" height="1870" width_o="1328" height_o="1870" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/891e99dc3d264b97f0ff66827f7922f240ada0b7a102a3e62135d6b51e134266/Screen-Shot-2019-08-26-at-10.50.40-PM.png" data-mid="50146912" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/891e99dc3d264b97f0ff66827f7922f240ada0b7a102a3e62135d6b51e134266/Screen-Shot-2019-08-26-at-10.50.40-PM.png" /&#62;lays out characteristics of the modern city—ones we don’t think about, but may find alarmingly true. 
In his writing, he points out that every ‘generic city’, amongst other things, has a golf course, an airport, a circle of ‘new towns’ surrounding it. Can these ‘features’ become outlines that turn into exportable stencils of a city, replicable anywhere around the world?&#38;nbsp;



Our notion of the traditional city has changed. The post-modern city operates at a faster pace, with different textures and values. As we live between two extremes—the generic and the authentic—what does it mean to be unique, and can true uniqueness exist anymore? 
As globalization and technology advances, local and global boundaries are breaking down. It is perhaps in this peculiar time we live in, that we start to see moments when ‘Elsewhere’ is in fact not that different from our local.
