Design Institute
There are so many realities to abstract into maps.
This Design Institute never ceases to amaze me with their selection of map themes (Scent, Community Gardens, Sonic, Gustatory, Spriritual Places, pamlimsets, Ethnicity and so on!). Perhaps some day multisensory technologies will enable the DI to create online sensory themed maps so that we can scent, taste, touch and feel the sensousness of the geographies we are immersed in.
They also have a wonderful new book ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING — New Cartographies of Networks and Territories just released and hopefully the postie will bring it to me real soon - my favorite lots of pictures, pages to flip and brought right to the door!
Just look at who they design for -
we commission, publish and implement innovative design ideas for the public realm.
