I thought that the relationships presented in the Morrish article/drawings were valuable in drawing connections between political moves and geographic formations, especially in the differing ways that geography is used. The stark contrast between the Egyptian settlement along the Nile and the US grid of the West and Midwest begins to speak to grossly different value systems. But the translation of geographic form into an architectural language, represented later in the article, is valuable as an approach to interacting with site.

The "Architecture and Justice" article brings together more disparate information to imply a mroe specific point, which I find encouraging. The progression of presentation throughout the article offers insight into the effects of reorganizing data to prove a point. And while they are explicit in acknowledging their purpose, Kurgan and Cadora also bring about new conclusions simply in the juxtaposition of mappings of different elements, for example, the poverty and incarcerated peoples maps.
