The Exposed City: Mapping the Urban Invisibles

Autor Nadia Amoroso
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2010
There is a vast amount of information about a city which is invisible to the human eye – crime levels, transportation patterns, cell phone use and air quality to name just a few. If a city was able to be defined by these characteristics, what form would it take? How could it be mapped?
Nadia Amoroso tackles these questions by taking statistical urban data and exploring how they could be transformed into innovative new maps. The "unseen" elements of the city are examined in groundbreaking images throughout the book, which are complemented by interviews with Winy Maas and James Corner, comments by Richard Saul Wurman, and sections by the SENSEable City Lab group and Mark Aubin, co-founder of Google Earth.

Recenzii

'[Amoroso] has brought to the forefront a visually exciting way to view information that has spatial, creative and suggestive outcomes. With a background in landscape architecture, urban design and architecture, she crafts maps as some kind of landscape form perceived by the data type. Maps as metaphor, the data as metaphor, map as art, data as art.' – Richard Saul Wurman, Information Architect
'We are on a cusp and Nadia Amoroso is one of the team players on this cusp of the New Map ... showing patterns with great clarity and singularity, combining scientific, physical structures, atmospheric conditions and showing these patterns over time, a day, a week, a month, a year or a decade.' – Richard Saul Wurman, Information Architect
'Nadia Amoroso takes the art and science of transforming statistical urban data into innovative maps to the next level in her recent book The Exposed City: Mapping the Urban Invisibles... The author provides guiding principles to suggest a selection process that proves useful to achieving the right balance between aesthetics and empirical evidence in the process of creating a a map.' - Amit Patel, Journal of Planning Education and Research

Descriere

Amoroso draws on unseen elements of the city – like crime rates and surveillance – to create mapping for the twenty-first century. Including expert interviews and examples of maps exposing the hidden elements of the city, The Exposed City shows how the urban invisibles can be made visible.
