Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to examine the phenomenon of graffiti in the urban environment in relation to urban design and architectural decisions. This research creation hopes to shed light on areas of the city that require a more insightful evaluation prior to the consideration and adaptation as pre design research for future urban design projects. Post occupancy evaluation at the scope of a city can benefit from a new metric, one that has always been dismissed as irrelevant yet may have a trend that can help future evaluations or propositions of urban proposals. An emphasis on transdisciplinary research using autographic visualization to extract intersubjective data seeks to ameliorate future projects. Using a phenomenological inquiry perspective to navigate the results of qualitative methodologies results in recommendations for the future of our cities.
