Gulliver Map
As a part of the Cities For All – Tallinn For All project, Gulliver Map (based on J. Swift’s novel) is organised during the Design Night. Gulliver Map is a project launched by a Japanese architect, Junzo Okada, in order to find a consensus between the citizens and the city and to improve the atmosphere of the city. A 40 m² map is installed in the centre of the city and people of different ages can write about their pleasant and unpleasant experiences in the city on the map while concentrating on the issues of accessibility and functionality. The project has been successfully carried out in many cities, most recently in Catalonia. The outcomes of the project will hopefully help to notice the concerns of people with special requirements. Gulliver Map is run by students, volunteers and designers who supervise them. The results will be presented to the city government for analysis and will be displayed in an exhibition in Tallinn, Helsinki and St Etienne.
