Mapping // Definition Mapping is creating graphic representations of information using spatial relationships within the graphic to represent some relationships within the data.
Mapping - organizing or systematizing information. Cartography is the scaled portrayal of geographical features. In geographical maps the images can correlate directly to geo-spatial properties, or they may symbolize abstractions such as political borders. Contemporary maps of non-geographical data sets make use of and extend the familiar ways of organizing information in geographical maps to other kinds of data not necessarily concerned with spatial relationships per se. The foundational notion is that an arrangement of elements in a synthetic space can help to organize or clarify. Spatial area can indicate magnitude or quantity. These kinds of parameters can be usefully applied in the visualizing of data, revealing a variety of relationships at a glance.

The viewer becomes an Icarus flying above the waters; the high elevation transfigures the viewer into a voyeur, placing him at a distance. According to de Certeau, this process started with Medieval and Renaissance painters, who represented the city from a perspective that no one had seen before: the “celestial eye� created gods.

The information visualization is more than a graphic interface: it is also a social interface. After all, they should use tis information to maintain a structure tat is as clear and open as possible. The number must always relate to a physical reality.

Datatown is based only upon data. It is a city that wants to be described by information: a city that knows no given topography, no prescribed ideology, no representation, no context. Only huge, pure data. Datatown is constructed as a collection of data. This information has been sorted and gathered in sectors, relative to the percentages of existing use in Netherlands.

The map by researchers working with Paul-Henry Chombart de Lauwe depicts the spatial meanderings of a young student who lived in Paris. The study vividly demonstrates that her experience of the city consisted of nothing more than regular trips to familiar destinations.

(The Situationist City)
The state of total and passive submission experienced by the man in the street placed before the architectural phenomenon. Architects can never get and keep control of all the factors in a city which exist in the dimensions of patched-up, expendable, and developing forms. – Lawrence Alloway The situationists, who seem to have had difficulties getting on with “everyday” citizens, preferred to experiment on themselves, analyzing the factors affecting their mood, behavior and choice of route as they wandered their “drift” (derive) through the city. The forces that cause jazzmen, wig-makers, sports-car enthusiasts or sculptors to collect in one area rather than another are not understood – but a start could perhaps be made with some such technique as Guy Debord’s theory of Psychogeographical drift. Situationists looked forward to pleasurable speed and mobility through the city. Only psychotopography can draw 1:1 maps of reality because only the human mind provides sufficient complexity to model the real. But a 1:1 map cannot “control” its territory because it is virtually identical with its territory. Map to everyday life.

Mapping techniques
Layering Layering involves the superimposition of various independent layers one upon the other to produce a heterogeneous surface. The program can intentionally be “empty” in OMA’s Melun- Sénart plan, for instance, is a strategy to protect green areas or routings through the “absolute space” of the existing landscape. The overlaying of the different elements of the plan produces an amalgam of relationships Layering results a complex fabric, without a centre, hierarchy or single organizing principle.
Mapping techniques
Game board Game-boards are conceived as shared working surfaces upon which various competing constituencies are invited to meet to work out their different claims on a contested territory. The game-board should facilitate the different spatial claims on the same territory to find a common ground while playing out various scenarios. The idea is to “stir the city�, to negotiate interaction with other agents in the policymaking process.
Mapping techniques The rhizome grows as an a-centred, nonhierarchical and expanding figure (of thought). There is an important distinction between a “map” and a “tracing” .The map is connected to their concept of rhizome, while the tracing is related to the tree structure.
Rhizome
Tracings belong to hierarchical structures and orders. But the rhizome is certainly not a loose and disjointed field of “everything”. It is held together by a “plane of consistency”, a surface structuring the open ended series of relationships.
Mapping techniques Drift is practice of walking in the city. A technique of rapid passage through varied ambiences. The derive invites us to step off of our normal path to explore even familiar territory from a new perspective. Chance plays an important role, but the action of chance is conservative; progress is nothing other than breaking through a field where chance holds sway by creating new conditions more favourable to our purposes.

CONCLUSION
Mapping // Conclusion
Mapping as practice and as an instrument, but it is not just an instrument, it’s a tool. It functions as an instrument ( (מכשירfor the visualization to different needs, for the understanding of spatial phenomena, for the storage of information, as a research tool ) (כליby which we can comprehend relationships and distribution patterns, and so forth. In short, there is a sort of ‘map intelligence’ through which the earth and many other phenomena may be represented with a certain degree of factuality or accuracy. In this sense, mappings, like architecture, reunite both, scientific data and artistic expressions in a format that has extraordinary potentials. The map can also be employed as a means; effectively a re-working or reformulation of what already exists. “mapping as a means of projecting power-knowledge” through imposition and reproduction. Conventionally, historical maps have been caught in the dialectics of ‘true and false’. Map can reveal potential to predict the future. Map of the un-mapped and the unmappable. Mapping can help to predict future situations - evaluation tool. Horizontal takes precedent over vertical tactics. But what is the combination of both? What are the borders of mapping?
And what is “beyond mapping”?
