Tottenham Hale Self-Representation


Tottenham Hale offers us a myriad of different readings.
We could analysis it from the urban morphological development, as a historical retrospective
We could wonder what we ordinarily read as natural and why, as Jeff Wall does, in our analysis
We could understand it as a simulation of social reality as Jean Baudrillard suggets

Postmodern society is defined, among others, in its variety, banality and excessness. Multiple gazes, views of diversity, millons of millons of bits of information that condemns us to the infinite subjectiveness. Althought we consider this one of its original feactures and not wanting to reach any universal objective statement, we also want to obtein some answers from the city itself.
Then we need to make question to its own nature and find a system in which the city keeps a dialogue with itself.
That the reason why we firstly seek a system of self-representation of the city
