Motif Writing
Motif Writing is a system of notation that enables graphic communication of movement through symbols in the four categories of movement (Body, Effort, Space and Shape) from Laban Movement Analysis. At Soma-City, we use Motif Writing, a simplified and more open-ended form of the more detailed Labanotation, to inform urban graphic representations, scores and mapping techniques. Motif writing is also a tool we use to support the integration of movement in the architectural design process.
