Middle Class Residential

Middle Class Residential

Tone: Lived-in, Chaotic, Fragmented

Sight: Tall apartment buildings with worn facades, flickering streetlights casting shadows over cracked sidewalks, children playing in small public areas, and the occasional scuffle between neighbors
Sound: Cars honking in the distance, people shouting across balconies, the constant hum of electronics, distant music leaking from windows
Smell: A mix of food aromas wafting from open windows, fresh laundry, stale air from older apartments, occasionally the sharp scent of industrial cleaners
Touch: Worn door handles, the frayed fabric of couches, a subtle vibration from the constant flow of traffic outside
Taste: Coffee brewing from a neighbor’s window, quick and greasy takeout food, cheap but strong liquor

Slums

Tone: Overcrowded, Sorrowful, Dangerous

Sight: Dilapidated buildings packed closely together, trash spilling onto the streets, cracked pavement leading to unsafe areas, a mixture of humanity and hardship
Sound: Yelling from angry tenants, the clatter of metal on metal, sirens wailing in the distance, the clinking of old shopping carts filled with people’s lives
Smell: Strong stench of rotting garbage, human waste, burned-out structures, mixed with an occasional scent of smoke from impromptu fires
Touch: Sticky walls, sharp debris underfoot, the sharp edge of broken glass that clings to cracked windows
Taste: Dry, stale air, the bitter tang of pollution, sour water from nearby pipes
