Concept • Creating a website where users can share their personal experiences of coming to Grand Central • Trying to exemplify the diversity of people who travel through the space daily • Also bring about other ways to view an interesting space
FeedBack • Elly – “I like the idea, I think it would be awesome if people could post photos, or even videos. Allowing for a more unique database of interpretations of the space. I mean someone may understand what a person is trying to convey message wise by just seeing a picture and a photo can also show different views of what people may think is just a regular place” • Monique – “It's almost like reliving your Grand Central experience while you read about others‘”
Next Steps • Bringing the stories to the space, making the accessibility of sharing stories easier.
