Mapping the System P .3 After making a preliminary crop selection, we began to map the different interactions between the various elements in our target ecosystem. In particular, as part of the SiD process, we look at the ecosystem through the lens of three key variables: space, time, and context. The mapping exercises within the SiD process serve as a prelude to the design phase. In constructing the maps, we come to understand how all the different elements behave relative to one another, and how they respond to key environmental conditions and flows. Constructing appropriate maps required that we gather additional data on the subset of elements that we went forward with after the previous phase. To create an ecosystem containing both plants and animals, which uses space as densely as possible and cycles materials as completely as possible, we had to consider a number of distinct analyses: from time lines to spatial plots.
