The present research discusses the importance of human activity as a place-making coordinate, and proposes the Activity Counter Maps (ACM) as a methodology for visualizing people's social spaces. Through two case studies, the ACM were tested for creating representations of both intensity of occupation in public spaces and people's public distances combined into a unified "three-dimensional public shape". The research analyses the resulted images and discusses its possible applications for digital design. © 2013, The Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA), Hong Kong, and Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture (CASA), Department of Architecture-NUS, Singapore.
