Abstract

During our research stay we will develop two data visualization design projects together with the MIT Senseable City Lab, using the problems and data made available by their partners. We will use these two projects and the aid of the personnel infrastructure from the lab to iterate, test and discuss our proposal of the use of a visualization of data structures, types and variation to support the design process and decisions of a data visualization project.
