Research

First thing for the map i.e. obstacle #1 is data. My map will be useless if it contains a paucity of buildings.

So. my first thought was «Okay, it’s challenging but I’m ready to spend a couple of weeks to collect the data».

Accepting the fact that my next few weeks would be filled by many lines of JSON code, I began to think, «What if my attempts are hopeless? What if this kind of map already exists?». So, I started to Google and yeah, I found a website which contained brutalist buildings map, timeline, and had much more helpful information about the brutalist architecture 😨😱😭

I thought; «So, my pet-project ended before it started, » or how did Churchill say it:

“This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is perhaps the end of the beginning.”

I was frustrated the whole day about my discovery, because I really wanted to make this map first.

But when I woke up the next morning, (a good sleep always helping me), my mind was clearer and I said to myself; «Okay, might be there is an already existing map, but I can still follow through with the project and maybe, I will learn something new from it». And indeed, I learned a lot, mostly from my mistakes 🙄
