Map, re-worked.

I felt it necessary to redo my map so that it was more representational of the city I have researched. I wanted to portray how crowded, exciting, alive and busy the city streets are. I also wanted to show the battle between old & new and rich & poor.
   I still kept the idea of a noodle tying elements of the city together, however, I used the noodle string to tightly bind some buildings to give a sense of overcrowding. I thought the noodle led the eye through the city from the rich, towering high above the poor- represented by cages.

   I feel that this map gives a stronger sense of Hong Kong: the intensity and hazy quality of the city, a mix between fresh ideas and tradition.
