this past break i took a long trip driving around California. since i am from east coast i wanted to find a connection with my new home. i wanted to see what was around me and experience what California means. Jane Wolff, with her maps explains and informs information about California and the delta. i really found her mapping drawings very useful and fascinating. i also appreciated that she place as geographical map next to it in order to give a context.
the planning of Washington dc was really interesting to me. how the city i am from was layed out so planning and rigid planning. my question is why was Texas and most of Northeast/Atlantic region not part of the national survey?
the SIDL essay about architecture and justice was also very informative. they call maps as partial and data never being raw and impartial. they mention they look at maps not as tools but as images to help researchers, but is that a tool as well?
