The arrival of mass communication and information technology has changed the condition of the city.
Stan Allen asks us to accept the reality of this new condition and creatively reinvent the traditional tools of notation (mapping) in order to meet these new challenges
Mapping has emerged in the information age as a means to make the complex accessible, the hidden visible, the unmappable mappable. It has become a way of making sense of things!
Janet Abrams and Peter Hall describe mapping as the 'conceptual glue' linking the tangible with the intangible.
Therefore I want my mapping project (my notation) to go beyond the visible to the invisible aspects of our contemporary city.
Consider what gets missed in our preoccupation with traditional mapping techniques?
