Interested in metropolitan transportation and its role in the production of public space, Theresa Krenn and Bernhard Eder will investigate the underrepresented bus-system in Los Angeles. For their final project they will present narrative bus maps that tell the social and spatial history of the city and its bus system.
Krenn and Eder will create alternative route-maps of existing bus lines. Each map will contain a narrative which is characterized by its location in the city and which mixes historical contents, contemporary reality and fictional narratives. By these means, the architects question ordinary perceptions of public transportation issues and their relationship to the present layout of Los Angeles. The project invites the audience to experience a narrated tour through the city searching for public space in Los Angeles. It leaves the possibility to the voyager to verify existing images of the city in order to re-evaluate urban space.
For the exhibition, Krenn and Eder will present a map of their tour as well as the narrative bus-maps. Copies of these maps will be available to exhibition visitors and the experience of riding the bus will be conveyed by sound mappings the architects have made on their own journey through Los Angeles.
