Warm Bodies, Cold Homes

Warm Bodies, Cold Homes

An ethnography collaboration between the London School of Economics (LSE) and Positive Negatives.

I was invited to assist in developing an interactive website, exploring how people stay warm in London. 

The initial data was collected through interviews and workshops that took place during the winter of 2023-24 but the live map will continue collecting ‘heating stories’ in the winters to come. 

Below are a selection of the drawings I made to illustrate these individual’s experiences. On the website they are plotted onto postcodes on a map of London.

You can explore all the whole project here:

Below are examples of how these illustrations are accessed on the website through the interactive map:
