Have a look at the lovely website radical cartography - lots of food for thought.


Bill Rankin is a historian and cartographer. His mapping activity is focused on reimagining everyday urban and territorial geographies by pushing techniques of statistical information design and rethinking everyday cartographic conventions. His maps have appeared in several publications and exhibitions, including articles in Perspecta, Harvard Design Magazine, and National Geographic and shows at Harvard University, Pratt Institute, and the Toronto Images Festival; several of his maps are also traveling with ICI’s “Experimental Geographies” show through 2011. Most of his cartography can be seen on his website, www.radicalcartography.net. His historical research is about the changing technologies of cartography and navigation in the twentieth century. He is currently finishing a PhD on this topic at Harvard, and will begin teaching in the history of science program at Yale in the fall of 2011.

Expo in Shanghai

These are a combination of images from the Shanghai expo. The majority of images are of the British Pavilion, designed by Thomas Heatherwick.

The other images are of some of the pavilions and interesting landscape bits and colour/textures
etc.
The images were taken by Alan Crow, www.huftonandcrow.com (he is my nieces husband) so could you
put this link in as well. He actually studied LA at MMU a few years ago!

Fritz Haeg's website

Doing some research for my last project about edible gardens, I came across this website. Fritz Haeg is an experienced architect and has many interesting projects going on. I found that the Edible States and the Animal States are the two sections which relate most to our degree. The website is filled with information that could be used as precedents.
