Group E: ambiguous edge cases

Note Master 23-07-2026

This group tests places where even a person could argue about the right answer: a building entrance, a cafe terrace, a building corner or a covered arcade.

Each session has 12 planned stops (below). After those, stops 13 to 16 are free: the participant picks any four places and stays at least 10 minutes at each.

Inside = inside a building. 2F-4F = second to fourth floor. Duration = the minimum time to stay.

Stop Context Duration
1 Just inside a building entrance (within 1 m) 15+ min
2 Just outside the same entrance, on the sidewalk 10+ min
3 Window seat, within 0.5 m of a street-facing window 15+ min
4 Outdoor cafe terrace clearly part of a building 20+ min
5 Edge of a building's outdoor area, near the street 15+ min
6 Building setback plaza (private property, public access) 12+ min
7 Equidistant between two buildings (2-3 m from both) 10+ min
8 At an exterior building corner 10+ min
9 Center of a covered arcade 15+ min
10 Junction of an underground passage and basement shops 10+ min
11 Elevated pedestrian walkway or bridge 10+ min
12 Ground-level outdoor area under or beside a tall building 12+ min
