This paper introduces my exploration of techniques that attempt to methodically visualize everyday life so as to allow cultural context to be transferred into a comparable and discussible form. Although, everyday tactics are of dynamic flows that cannot be notated structurally, they can be depicted. The visual depiction is formed on an objective and integrated temporal scale structure so as to represent the rhythm of flows properly. Then, the paper describes a series of visual maps that represent the way three temple courtyards in the city of Tainan, ancient capital of Taiwan, are used over a 24-hour period.
