Street Lights Addition by Rik Makes
a city circles project 2017 - 2018
While being and researching in the streets of the 3 neighborhoods, Planetario, Delicias, and Usera. What is noticeable is that there was a big amount of paper spread. Starting the waste it becomes when thrown on the ground. The hooker carts that are ripped apart and thrown on the ground. When looking up from the street you will notice the flyer’s under the wipers of the cars. And the hooker carts between the windows. Some cars we’re packed with flyer’s of estate agents, contractors and movers. Apparently there is a big need of presenting the company’s that don’t have a shop window. Are they ought to be forgotten or do they need to do this to compete with their competitors ? After facing the language barrier in Madrid and the unwillingness to have small talks on the street, my research evolved in things that are Observable. So that made me to map the street lights and their use by citizens. This took place in the streets that are incorporated the city circles program. This book contains an overview of my research and the Data gathered.
Planetario
In Planetario, I wandered around in the morning and afternoon. There is modern architecture and people are quiet. The gutter is clean, and the streetlights are rather clean. There are 2 parks, and there are some squares. There is a big road that divides the neighborhood and everything looks new, not more than 20 or 30 years old. Big apartment blocks, Big apartment buildings. On overall the neighborhood is set up spacious. The people dress up elegant, and chique. There are less shops around than in the other neighborhoods. It is approximately 1/3 of the amount. Some jewelry, some clothing shops, and different baby shops.

Delicias
Delicias is a noisy area, where there are quite some people are around during the morning and late afternoon. During the day, you don’t see a lot of people, this is because of the sun. The sun is really strong from 12.00 till 18.00. Before and after you see people walking and talking. The shops close around 13.00 until 15.00. What I noticed in Delicias was that there is relatively more trash in the gutter. The streets are packed with cars. The side streets, are small, and with the tree’s on the pavement of the there is only a small space to pass pedestrians. In the side streets there we’re just a couple of shops, not too much. In general, there are a lot of shops around. Especially at the bigger streets. Most restaurants and cafeteria’s (Laverna’s) are located at the busy streets. This means that the food and drinks are consumed at noisy bus stops, the smell of gasoline and car emission. The set-up of the neighborhoods from the perspective of buildings is packed. Everything is tight together, and there is not a lot of space for green, parks or square’s. Most activity’s is done along the busy streets.

Usera
Usera is just across the river which divides the neighborhoods, Planetario and Delicias. It’s quite comparable to Delicias, because of the main road cutting through the neighborhood. They are building a new shopping mall, Plaza de Rio 2, which will attract loads of people in the future. In Usera there is a mix of Latinos, Spanish and Chinese around. There are quite a lot of shops on the main road, but if you go behind, there are few to none shops in the street. The neighborhood is quite packed, buildings are standing close to each other, but he atmosphere is quite and relaxed. The buildings are maintained well, and have a little decoration on them, while being colored in tints of white red to white orange. There are very little front gardens in the neighborhood and there is a big football club around. Also, there is an open soccer field where people train and play games. There is a small basketball field and a Big primary school. Which is fenced with a wall, they have a concrete playing field, without any playing equipment. The floor is painted completely blue, and the kids are running around and playing with balls. The people in the neighborhood are a bit grumpy, and look grumpy to me. They don’t wonder, they don’t talk, they don’t seem interested.

Conclusie
Unwanted Information & Activities are shared, Not to communicate but to be present in informing others. Handmade or -written visuals are creating a trustworthy feeling. The visual presentation of advertisement on the poles in the street, are directly linked to the environment. The presentation is a reflection of the dwelling of the surrounding inhabitants. Spacious neighborhood Planetario has a more clean and spacious set-up of advertisement on the poles. While Delicias & Usera have a more chaotic presentation of advertisement on the poles. There are more layers, it’s more packed, more diverse etc. Most backstreets, have history of the advertisement, they are touched, pasted and cleaned less regularly than the ones on the main streets.
