Points of Privacy_ infographic1

For period of five days at random times of the day, I made observation of areas from 14th street to 23rd street and from 6th avenue to Park avenue, including Madison Square Park and Union Square. By observing public spaces for 30 hours in total, I noticed that people like to occupy particular locations for engaging in private activities. For example, many people stopped at the same spot when speaking on the phone. Frequently, people used certain spots repeatedly to wait for something (buses), meet people, or to observe something. The points marked indicate the locations used for various private purposed, distingushed by different colors.
