Cartographic Grounds

Projecting the Landscape Imaginary

ISBN: 9781616893293 (HB - E)
€
Mapping has been one of the most fertile areas of exploration for architecture and landscape in the past few decades. While documenting this shift in representation from the material and physical description toward the dpiction of the unseen and often immaterial, Cartographic Grounds takes a critical view toward the current use of data mapping and visualization and calls for a return to traditional cartographic to reimagine the manifestation and manipulation of the ground itself. Each of the ten chapters focuses on a single cartographic technique---sounding/spot elevation, isobath/contour, hachure/hatch, shaded relief, land classi cation, figure-ground, stratigraphic column, cross-section, line symbol, conventional sign---and illustrates it through beautiful maps and plans from notable designers and cartographers throughout history, from Leonardo da Vinci to James Corner Field Operations. Mohsen Mostafavi, dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, introduces the book.
