Manhole – Kingsland Road
In the first few weeks I arrived London last year, I found something really interesting in green part station.
while I wanted to transfer from picadilly line to jubilee line, there is a corridor between these two lines. and there are mosaic decorations on the wall of the corridor. the color of mosaic are mixed with deep blue (picadilly line) gray (jubilee line) and white. I went to this corridor several times before, and I did notice that these two color represents two tube lines.
But what I didn’t notice is, the colour gradually changes when I walk through the corridor. The colour is not “really” change, it is, when you walk near jubilee line, there are more gray tiles than blue tiles. so when i arrived the jubilee line, there are just gray and white tiles only. I was so excited when I discovered this! wicked!
(ok, maybe this is not a secret…)

these images are of the work of Richard Wood’s , a fellow wood with a love of the super fake and a fasination of the everyday surfaces and patterns we surruond owerselfs with . He likens his work to the home make over shows , of changing room and the 60 second make over , where ‘ a lick of paint’ can fix almost anything. Woods tranforms spaces , by using large scale block prints, for example wood gain is printed with 5 different routed blocks. Wher as real wood grain would never repeat itself ! He also undertook some tempary installations taking over the surface of a home in wimberdon RENOVATION and the super tudor ‘Our houses, their decoration and the way they have been altered to suit the tastes and aspirations of every generation of owners, speak volumes about the way we see ourselves, express our hopes and recapture cherished memories. The suburbs are closely associated – in drama and literature as well as in fact – with that constant change through renovation.’ for more ifo see http://www.artworksinwimbledon.org/renovation.html.

black cab: the london pride +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The city constantly renew itself its inhabitants find their own routes, their own streets, plans which have a multitude of meaning for them.. the taxi drivers are the ones who connect the city with the people.

THE KNOWLEDGE
5 years is how long the average london cab driver spends learning the knowledge. “the knowledge” is the in-depth study of London’s myriad of streets in a six-mile radius of Charing Cross, and places of interest that taxi-drivers in that city must complete to obtain a licence to drive a black cab.
This is the “Knowledge boy” is the Taxi-driver applicants, usually follow these routes around London on a motor scooter, and can be identified by the clipboard fixed to the handlebars and showing details of the streets to be learned that day.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 
The taxicab driver is required to be able to decide routes immediately in response to a passenger’s request or traffic conditions, rather than stopping to look at a map, rely on satellite navigator or ask a controller by radio. that’s what distinguish a cab driver from a mini cab driver.

they have a London Knowledge Map instead

of cards, for example”.
Despite their high performance on memory tasks, however, Dr Maguire could find no structural changes. “I then asked them what strategies they used. Nine out of ten of them used the same strategy: an ancient Greek method, called the method of loci. It’s based on navigation: they imagine going down a street they know well, place items at certain positions along the street, then mentally re-trace their route to find the items.” +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MISTER H. my cab driver and his very nice daughter Gemma
I met mister H. and his daughter today at costa cafe.
He explained me the way he visualises the map of London into his brain.
He mixes visual landmarks with mental connections.
We were laughing a lot about the article i read about the taxi driver who drove his car into a
river after following his sat.nav.
