To narrow the research topic and focus on actual objects to be designed in order to achieve the previously stated goals, a typological analysis of suitable items in relation to their context and environment of use was conducted.
A dense technological infrastructure generates a complex electrogeography that can be monitored and outputted in proper maps. This urban electrotopography strictly depends on the physical realm in which it sits and unlike this, it doesn't have a permanent landscape: rogue stations, mobile phones, wifi notebooks and all portable devices zigzag through the spectrum and create erratic spots.
This suggested that the most suitable objects to design had to be portable, of everyday and primary use and integrated in the urban context, this would make any user aware of the shifting hertzian space surrounding him while he's moving from a place to another. Also, the objects had to have the power to change their structure on an input/output basis, they had thus to be shape-shifting and reversible, they had to be eye-catcher to work as signals for unaware people and they had to be as much shielding as possible to protect the user.
As a result of this typological research, clothes and clothes related accessories (bags, umbrellas etc.) turned out to be the most suitable objects to integrate all the above mentioned features. As for the materials to use, the smart materials (particularly smart textiles) were the best.
