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. It follows the award-winning book IF/THEN: PLAY? published in 1999? and is designed by Amsterdam studio Mevis + van Deursen.Paperback | 200 pages200.7 x 246.4 x 22.9mm | 975.23g38808University of Minnesota PressMinnesota?
