An Aura of Words is a scrollytelling interface that transforms citizen language, Google Reviews of five Lugano parks, into a visual portrait called an aura. By encoding over 3,400 words into six semantic lenses, the project provokes a question: does this portrait match how you see this park? It invites both individual reflection and collective debate about how public space is experienced and valued.
