I answered both questions in one paragraph:
    The reading from Delirious New York considers how New York’s grid system influenced the city’s development over time. Once the block was defined, it was rigid and almost inherent. It proved integral in all future development of the city, and it had to. It split the city into its modern “mosaic of episodes.” By splitting the city up and giving it its modern structure, the grid defined the future evolution of the city. It defined the outlines of buildings, parks and man-made geological features in Manhattan, shaping its entire physical and architectural future. It gave structure to what previously had no structure. New York City’s new grid shaped every single aspect of the city, from its creation to now.

I made an archive that links space (my yard and house) with scent. I made a 30x30 step grid in my yard. Then I took 9 containers, labelled them as 10-step intervals on this grid, and closed them at their designated locations. The steps were not of equal distance; I walk differently outside than I do inside. This means that it's an archive specifically of scents while walking. It can be experienced for tens of thousands of years, as plastic degrades very slowly. It can only be experienced for a few moments before it disperses.

    The invention of a common, universally defined and quantified time allowed people to ignore spacial divides and disconnect time from individual spaces. Universal time makes space significantly less of a barrier. It doesn’t make it irrelevant (or we wouldn’t have Facebook location posts, Instagram’s photo map or Find My Friends) but it makes it less of a conceptual barrier. We can coordinate much more easily when we don’t have to first spend effort to ensure that we’ll be on time. For railroads, this meant safe and convenient travel. For our society today, this means that I can think about and talk to my friends in London or Israel or Seattle or Pakistan without violating our sense of time and schedule or making a huge investment of effort.
    Technology enables us to physically move and create space, but it also removes space’s role as a barrier. When we build a bridge today, technology makes it faster and more reliable than it once would have been. This means a greater change in space, and a greater impact on people. However, the same bridge negates the spatial effect of the river it spans. Even modern communication technology has these effects. It allows us to coordinate projects that change space more rapidly and profoundly than ever before, while also making these projects less of a priority. Why build and maintain a bridge to cross a river when you can build cell towers on either side?

Tactical Cartography is a powerful way to make social issues more obvious and visible. Revealing a relationship between space and any social concept, construct or problem can help people conceptualize it without any experience. In the example given, mapping security cameras shows people who widespread they are. I was a little confused about what the actual meaning of tactical cartography is, especially what fits into the meaning.

My map is on my computer, and I've had limited success gif-ing it so I'll just show it in class.

    The Poetics of Space tries to express the complex feelings and associations we attach to intimate, inhabited spaces. Bachelard theorizes that “specimens of fossilized duration [are] concretized.” He seems to believe that these innermost memories, sensations and feelings of shelter are preserved both in our heads (exposed in dreams) and in the physical dwelling-place. This profound message applies to everyone, but I feel that the language gets in its way. The writing is extremely complex, and I think there’s more of it than needed to express the concepts.

    Topoanalysis is the study of spaces we inhabit and how they shape our mind and actions. Bachelard thinks topoanalysis can help us understand the context of our psyche. This can be used to help us grasp “a knowledge of intimacy” and become aware of why we make the decisions we do.
