Argument
• a cartography endeavor for non-cartography students, a pretext for rigorous field research, data retrieval and map design.
• Old land property documents speak about places that are hard to identify due to several errors
• The need for (some kind of) recording place-names at this scale
-
The maps
• Diploma work for students at Tourism Geography program
• Workflow
• Size: 70x50cm, 1:15000, aprox. 73km2
Data retrieval
(spatial and narratives)
Mapping work
(applying principles)
Design work
(experiments)
-
Usage
• Didactic approach: understanding the process of data retrieval, mapping and design principles, hands-on
• Image: understanding place, discover,
• Repairing errors: overlapping different place-name layers in order to fit old cadastral docs and maps in the contemporary framework (subsidies)
• Ethnographic approach: archive, regional phonetics and the stories behind the place-names
