Codex of the Heart of London
Welcome to the Codex of the Heart of London. This project is an intricate tapestry weaving together three central concepts: tags, building, and city. By employing a blend of digital tools and tangible tags, the project aims to map the visceral and personal connections that individuals forge with the cityscape. These tags serve as gateways, merging past with present through interactive installations situated at the heart of London's architectural marvels. The project delves into the multifaceted connections between people and the city, as reflected through diverse images and narratives.
