An Atlas of Radical Cartography is a collection of 10 maps and 10 essays about social issues from globalization to garbage; surveillance to extraordinary rendition; statelessness to visibility; deportation to migration. The map is inherently political-- and the contributions to this book wear their politics on their sleeves. An Atlas of Radical Cartography provides a critical foundation for an area of work that bridges art/design, cartography/geography, and activism. The maps and essays in this book provoke new understandings of networks and representations of power and its effects on people and places. These new perceptions of the world are the prerequisites of social change.

This work answers to an order effected by Regional Barcelona, S.A. to ERF, whose first result made concrete in 30 formless specifics dedicated to BR in June, 1997, and in an interactive CD-ROM that models diverse aspects gathered in the book, allowing to realize market simulations. The sectorial reports are centered around four big areas: the climate and the air, the continental and marine waters, and the territory and the actions as far as solid residues and energy goes. The maps, tables and figures included in this book facilitate the managing and comprehension of the great volume of information that it contains. For the completion , both of the sectorial reports and of this work, have taken part more than forty experts of a wide range of professionals related to the environment.

Abstract:

In December 1999 the "Environmental Atlas of the Mediterranean: The structure of the territory and the landscape" was published by the Cartographic Institute of Catalonia (ICC), the Institut Català de la Mediterrania (ICM) and Comunicació ERFGestió i Ambiental, SL, under the auspices of UNESCO's Mediterranean Programme and sponsorship of the Spanish International Cooperation Agency. The book was the result of two years work by a transdisciplinary team consisting of ecologists, economists, agronomists, sociologists, engineers, cartographers, geographers and remote sensing experts. With the aim of finding an alternative to the traveling exhibition and to increase the dissemination of information on the "Environmental Atlas of the Mediterranean, the Catalan Institute of the Mediterranean and the Instituto Cervantes set out to develop a version of it for publication on the Internet through the Cervante´s Virtual Center.

Abstract:

The Netherlands is changing at a rapid pace. We are constantly adding new places with new functions to the old familiar assortment of residential neighborhoods, city parks, farms and pastures. Changes in our economy, income, leisure activities and population profile are reflected in the landscape. As the Gouvernment, at the start of the new millennium, reflects on the future of physical space in the Netherlands, this Atlas of change takes a tour d’horizon through the transformations the country has undergone since post-war reconstruction and is still undergoing. The Netherlands had been, and continues to be, rearranged. This Atlas is an inquiry into the Netherlands of today and tomorrow. What do we want, what are we creating and what do we think about?

Abstract:

The Atlas of Cyberspace illustrates graphically, the shapes, structures and complex forms of the Internet, the World-Wide Web and other virtual media. Drawing on five years worth of research, and divided into four key sections - infrastructure and traffic, information navigation, community and communication, artistic visions - the best and most interesting maps of cyberspace have been compiled into this unique atlas for the Internet age. The maps in the Atlas of Cyberspace are important as they are powerful in framing our conception of the new virtual worlds beyond our computer screens. More and more of our time and leisure and business activities are spent in virtual space and yet it is a space that is difficult to comprehend and mentally visualise. Moreover, it is a space in which it easy to get lost and confused. Many of the cyberspace mapping projects try give it spatial structure in order to make sense of it and the transactions that take place there. The Atlas of Cyberspace provides a fascinating insight into how researchers, designers and artists are trying to understand the Internet's infrastructure, the traffic that flows through it, and envisage the multiple virtual worlds and communication it supports.

ATLAS OF DUTCH WATER CITIES

Title:

ATLAS OF DUTCH WATER CITIES. TIME, SPACE AND WATER

Features:

Paperback / 220 pages / 25 x 28 cm / Colour / English / €27,83

Publisher:

Abstract:

The Dutch have a rich and internationally renowned tradition when it comes to the intense relationship between urban development and water engineering. Their expertise and knowledge of the laws of water and ingenuous technology have helped them successfully transfer a wet, marshland type of area into an area for agricultural and urban use. However, water is a surprising and dynamic element of nature, whilst the use and perception of water has also been subject to change throughout the years. This is why the relationship between city and water is dynamic; it constantly needs to be determined, designed, and devised. Since the last decade of the twentieth century we are confronted with new and surprising effects of water: a rising sea level, increasingly intense rainfall, and greater differences in the volumes of water produced by rivers.

Urban development forces us to consider a new relationship between city and water. The question is how to profit from the rich tradition of the Dutch Water City. The Atlas of Dutch water cities illustrates this relationship between urban development and water engineering, and portrays a vast number of projects integrating the infrastructure of waterways and flood defences in architectural concepts. The examples are explained from a civil engineering, landscape, and urban point of view in order to serve as a guide for future developments.

Inside the book we can find a complete Timeline which is divided into ten periods, and per period, the four topis are classified above each other chronologically, horizontally across the page and as logically as possible. On the right you can see some examples of these pages.

To understand the territory, it is essential to know the transformation processes of the city and the territory, as it is the understanding of its logics of evolution.

As the title shows, water is the main topic of this book. In a place where this is the main concern, the technology has evolved improving solutions for the retaining of water. So, the Polder is a typology that deserves special attention, and cannot be explained only with a plan. Related to this, in the book we find cross sections and other drawing strategies to explain this concept.

Example of a part of the Polder Atlas: The first image is about Rotterdam in the 1850, where the rural area was the main one.

Instead of this, in the second image we can see the urban occupation in 2005. The river is no longer part of the natural landscape.

The image on the top is clearly more expressive about the landscape and the land representation than the other one. So, the way of graphical expression is determinant for what we want to explain.

Abstract:

Which cities shrink? Where are these cities? What processes lie behind shrinking? Atlas of Shrinking Cities has approximately 30 world maps, 50 diagrams, 40 city portraits, 15 lexical essays and an index of cities to document this global phenomenon and make it comprehensible visually by means of an innovative graphic presentation. In four chapters, illustrations, charts, and statistics disclose the reasons behind urban shrinking, which range from demographic developments and migration patterns to shortages of resources, the destruction of nature, and transformations in types of settlement. Case studies of shrinking cities from a variety of continents illustrate the concrete effects of global processes of transformation. The index shows population changes over the past 50 years for every shrinking city with more than 100,000 inhabitants.

Abstract:

The Atlas of the Conflict maps the processes and mechanisms behind the shaping of Israel-Palestine over the past 100 years. Over 500 maps and diagrams provide a detailed territorial analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, explored through themes such as borders, settlements, land ownership, archaeological and cultural heritage sites, control of natural resources, landscaping, wars and treaties. A lexicon, drawing on many different information sources, provides a commentary on the conflict from various perspectives.

As a whole, the book offers insights not only into the specific situation of Israel-Palestine, but also into the phenomenon of spatial planning used as a political instrument.

Abstract:

This atlas addresses the New Dutch Water Defence Line (Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie) on a themed basis. Its position in the landscape, the forts, the inundation system, the geomorphology, the strategic system and recent developments can be read off in maps rendered so as to give an understanding of all aspects of the defence line landscape. The defence line reveals itself as a many-tentacled military defensive system of forts, group shelters and polders which can be flooded at the threat of war. The maps show the cohesion of the defence line as a landscape-strategic structure as well as the topographic composition of this structure in layers and components. The more detailed maps of the forts display the wealth of historic places, insertions in the landscape and defining elements. The atlas offers administrators something to lean on and designers a sense of freedom - a solid stepping-off point for getting this unique national landscape literally back on the map. Essays place the New Dutch Water Defence Line in a historical perspective. The atlas was commissioned by The Netherlands Architecture Fund and the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie Project Office.

Abstract:

Cette livraison des Carnets du paysage a pour objectif, d'une part, de rendre compte des divers types d'utilisation que les paysagistes font ou pourraient faire de la cartographie, aussi bien dans leurs pratiques de projet que dans des approches plus « pédagogiques » qui les mettent aux prises avec des élus, des commanditaires ou des étudiants. Mais elle cherche également, d'autre part, à témoigner de la vitalité actuelle des recherches sur la cartographie dans des domaines aussi divers que l'histoire de l'urbanisme et des territoires, les arts visuels ou la théorie de la connaissance, entre autres. Des recherches qui illustrent parfaitement l'extraordinaire inventivité plastique dont la cartographie a été le prétexte et le support depuis quelques années. Et qui, surtout, montrent qu'il n'y a pas aujourd'hui une mais des cartographies, des pratiques cartographiques très diverses.

Toute carte instaure un monde autant qu'elle le révèle. Elle peut conduire à la rêverie ou à l'exploration alors même qu'elle revêt les apparences les plus austères de la « science ».

Elle signale que le réel et l'imaginaire sont des provinces parentes dans le pays de la vérité, et que les cartes d'artistes en disent tout autant sur l'imagination géographique d'une culture que les productions les plus rigoureuses de la cartographie scientifique ou que les propositions les plus audacieuses des paysagistes.

Abstract:

War has entered the cities. Since September 11, 2001 at the latest, it has become apparent that this is the case not only in Jerusalem and the Middle East, but also in Western metropolises. This book presents a thorough investigation of the current situation in Jerusalem from a trilateral perspective: Israeli, Palestinian, and international experts air their views. The discussion centers on the production and use of urban space under the conditions created by the conflict, including, for example, the so-called security fence, urban enclaves, exclaves, the approach to monuments and no-man’s-land, and the instrumentalization of infrastructures, which leads to the crass juxtaposition of highly developed and impoverished urban spaces.

The conflict, however, does not bring with it destruction and violence alone, but also exhibits ambivalent effects and, along with them, new cultural and urban realities.

Abstract:

This atlas provides a unique survey of the Arnhem-Nijmegen urban network. Its more than 100 maps cover not just the periodic football vendettas, but also cultural history, poetry, regional events, dialects and royalist associations. The atlas also provides practical information about such matters as the location of speed traps, where people live who read books, usable in-line skating routes and places where you can log in by wireless. The end result is a surprising collection of information about the region, some familiar, some unfamiliar. This makes the atlas not only a reference work, but more importantly a source of inspiration for new voyages of discovery and a new look at the region and the world.

Abstract:

ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING explores the importance of maps as aids to navigation, understanding, and cultural representation. Traditionally written by history's victors, maps are gaining new currency in our information-saturated age as a means of making arguments and processes visible. Mapping technologies today are as diverse as the agendas driving them: the human body is mapped with 3-D software, buildings are mapped with lasers, and cities are mapped by satellite.

ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING proposes-by visual example and written analysis-that mapmaking is a fundamental design process, one that shapes the physical and conceptual dimensions of contemporary multicultural society. ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING is the second installment in an international visual/verbal collaboration focusing on the design implications of new technologies.

The borders in a crossed place, a large living and mobile boundaries territory where multiple social practices put tension on the set boundaries. New spaces and relationships emerge from and through the southern border of Europe and North Africa. The book is divided into a color graphic part and another black and white text. The first one we call it visiorama and we give itlself read value, as the story of an new build imaginary. Both parts, graphical and textual- will be hyperlinked, that is, referenced to each other by a basic system of navigation at the bottom of each page.

Abstract:

Over the past decade significant changes are occurring in the territory and the European urban systems, that affect the proper role of the city, nature, and the characters of living space. New paradigms of "diffused city" or urbanized, "as in his time were the urban-rural, center-periphery, and the models "City region" or "city area", are perhaps ambiguously expressing the trend towards a reconfiguration of hierarchies in urban systems and the geographical dispersion and emergence of new spaces, "environments" or metropolitan"territories". Recent changes in population dynamics, production processes, consumption patterns, together with technological innovations in communication systems and the increasing spread of territorial mobility with the creation of new road infrastructure and public transport, contribute to the progressive configuration of an emerging model of urban growth that points to dispersed and polarized urbanization patterns.. Thus, the metropolitan area of Barcelona, with is characteristic urbanization, which combine the urban sprawl from central city and the historic core territorial sprawl, experience "new ways" of polarized growth, supported on metropolitan infrastructure and the singular points of exchange of flows over a territory increasingly diverse and interactive

Your choice is justified by reasons connected with the importance and representativeness of each these urban regions in southern Europe and, especially, the availability of collaboration between university research teams in our network. The case studies analyzed provide an overview varied enough to verify the initial hypothesis about the recent territorial changes in the metropolitan systems, and to evaluate the possible existence of dynamic and common trends in major urban regions of Southern Europe.

Abstract:

This atlas traces the northern boundary (limes) of the Roman empire and follows its path in three Dutch cities: Nijmegen, Utrecht and Leiden. Referencing classical atlases, this book provides an indepth study of how the Dutch landscape was shaped since the Roman empire by providing same scale maps of cities, regions and the country in the years 200, 1200, 1600, 1900 and 2000.

The atlas uses a carefully studied color palette, including gold for all areas on the maps that represent real findings of the ‘limes’, as well as Roman old roads and fortresses.

Custom patterns were designed for the maps.

Abstract:

This atlas addresses the New Dutch Water Defence Line (Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie) on a themed basis. Its position in the landscape, the forts, the inundation system, the geomorphology, the strategic system and recent developments can be read off in maps rendered so as to give an understanding of all aspects of the defence line landscape. The defence line reveals itself as a many-tentacled military defensive system of forts, group shelters and polders which can be flooded at the threat of war. The maps show the cohesion of the defence line as a landscape-strategic structure as well as the topographic composition of this structure in layers and components. The more detailed maps of the forts display the wealth of historic places, insertions in the landscape and defining elements. The atlas offers administrators something to lean on and designers a sense of freedom - a solid stepping-off point for getting this unique national landscape literally back on the map. Essays place the New Dutch Water Defence Line in a historical perspective. The atlas was commissioned by The Netherlands Architecture Fund and the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie Project Office.

http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/academic/upd/agakhan/newgeographies/ http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/academic/upd/agakhan/newgeographies/web_issue2.htm Volume 0. New Geographies journal aims to examine the emergence of the “geographic,” a new but for the most part latent paradigm in design today—to articulate it and to bring it to bear effectively on the social role of design. Although much of the analysis of this context in architecture, landscape, and urbanism derives from social anthropology, human geography, and economics, the journal aims to extend these arguments to the impact of global changes on the spatial dimension, whether in terms of the emergence of global spatial networks, global cities, or nomadic practices, and how these inform design practices today. Through essays and design projects, the journal aims to identify the relationship between the very small and the very large, and intends to open up discussions on the expanded role of the designer, with an emphasis on disciplinary reframings, repositionings, and attitudes.

Abstract:

Volume 1. Design disciplines are challenged by the condition of the zero point. “Zero-context,” “cities from scratch,” and “zero-carbon” developments all force designers to tackle fundamental questions regarding the strategic relevance and impact of a design intervention. Along with the challenges inherent in the zero point, perhaps more meaningful are the provocations of the “after the zero” condition, which clearly marks the need to seriously explore fundamental inquiries regarding form and context (physical, social, political). After Zero is an opportunity to imagine alternative futures and a revitalized project for the city.

Volume 2 of New Geographies proposes to historicize and materialize the relations of energy and space, and map some of the physical, social, and representational geographies of oil, in particular. By making visible this infrastructure, Landscapes of Energy is an invitation to articulate design’s environmental agency and its appropriate scales of intervention.

RADICAL CARTOGRAPHY

Website:

http://www.radicalcartography.net/

Author:

Bill Rankin

About:

Abstraction today is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror or the concept.

Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or substance. It is the generation of models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal. The territory no longer precedes the map, nor survives it. Henceforth, it is the map that precedes the territory — PRECESSION OF SIMULACRA — it is the map that engenders the territory and if we were to revive the fable today, it would be the territory whose shreds are slowly rotting across the map. It is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges subsist here and there, in the deserts which are no longer those of the Empire but our own: The desert of the real itself.

CABSPOTTING

San Francisco Exploratorium

About:

Cabspotting traces San Francisco's taxi cabs as they travel throughout the Bay Area. The patterns traced by each cab create a living and always-changing map of city life. This map hints at economic, social, and cultural trends that are otherwise invisible. The Exploratorium has invited artists and researchers to use this information to reveal these "Invisible Dynamics."

The core of this project is the Cab Tracker. The Tracker averages the last four hours of cab routes into a ghostly image, and then draws the routes of ten in-progress cab rides over it.

The Time Lapse area of the project reveals time-varying patterns such as rush hour, traffic jams, holidays and unusual events. New projects are produced by the Exploratorium's visiting artists and also created by the larger Cabspotting community.

Author:

Eric Fischer

About:

The maps are ordered by the number of pictures taken in the central cluster of each one.

This is a little unfair to aggressively polycentric cities like Tokyo and Los Angeles, which probably get lower placement than they really deserve because there are gaps where no one took any pictures. The central cluster of each map is not necessarily in the centre of each image, because the image bounds are chosen to include as many geotagged locations as possible near the central cluster. All the maps are to the same scale (a square measuring 15 miles on each side), chosen to be just large enough for the central New York cluster to fit. The photo locations come from the public Flickr and Picasa search APIs.

Blue is where taxis are carrying passengers. Red is where the passenger seats are empty.

Check out the Bay Bridge approach east of 5th Street -- eastbound they are always carrying passengers to the East Bay, westbound they are always empty (presumably because the passenger trips the other way are handled by Oakland taxis). Something similar also happens on the Golden Gate Bridge and even on the Southern Freeway.

Author:

Eric Fischer

About:

Some people interpreted the Geotaggers' World Atlas maps to be maps of tourism. This set is an attempt to figure out if that is really true. Some cities (for example Las Vegas and Venice) do seem to be photographed almost entirely by tourists. Others seem to have many pictures taken in pieces that tourists don't visit. Blue points on the map are pictures taken by locals (people who have taken pictures in this city dated over a range of a month or more). Red points are pictures taken by tourists (people who seem to be a local of a different city and who took pictures in this city for less than a month). Yellow points are pictures where it can't be determined whether or not the photographer was a tourist (because they haven't taken pictures anywhere for over a month). They are probably tourists but might just not post many pictures at all. The maps are ordered by the number of pictures taken by locals.
