WHATEVER SET A BELONGS TO
MAPS ARE NEVER ‘OBJECTIVE’
MAPS ARE NEVER ‘SUBJECTIVE’’
MAPS CORRELATE COGNITIVE, DATA, AND GEOGRAPHIC SPACES THROUGH A GRAPHIC REGISTER OF CORRESPONDENCE.
MAPS CORRELATE COGNITIVE, DATA, AND GEOGRAPHIC SPACES THROUGH A GRAPHIC REGISTER OF CORRESPONDENCE.
WHAT THEY EXCLUDE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT (PERHAPS MORESO)THAN WHAT THE INCLUDE.
THE ACT OF MAPPING IS ALREADY A ‘PROJECT IN THE ‘MAKING.’
THE ACT OF MAPPING IS ALREADY A ‘PROJECT IN THE ‘MAKING.’
‘MAPPERS’ ARE ALWAYS IMPLICATED IN MAPS; MAPS ARE BIASED.

MAPS ESTABLISH FIELDS AND POINTS FOR SPECIFIC INTERVENTIONS.
WHEN USED STRATEGICALLY BY ARCHITECTS, MAPS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ENABLE A FUNDAMENTALLY ARCHITECTURAL VIEW OF THE WORLD.

MAPS ACQUIRE MEANING FROM BOTH THEIR MAKERS AND THE USERS.
WHAT IS ‘LOCALITY?’
ARJUN APADURAI
‘...as these local subjects engage in the social activities of production,representation, and reproduction (as in the work of culture), theycontribute, generally unwittingly, to the creation of contexts that might exceed the existing material and conceptual boundaries of the neighborhood’
IN OTHER WORDS...
THE CULTURAL AND SITE SPECIFICITIES OF URBANITY (”CONTEXT”)
UNFOLD WITHIN A NETWORK OF WHAT THEY WERE “produced from, against,in spite of, and in relation to.”
IN AN ECO-INFORMATIONAL SOCIETY, THE “LOCAL” IS NOT SO SIMPLE.

WHAT IS ‘THERE’ IS NOT ALL THAT IS THERE.

“PLACE” IS AN ASSEMBLAGE.
MAPS OPERATE IN BETWEEN THE EMPIRICAL AND THE METAPHYSICAL.
