"Mapping has been one of the most fertile areas of exploration for architecture and
landscape in the past few decades. While celebrating this shift in representation
from the material and physical description toward the depiction of the unseen and
often immaterial, Cartographic Grounds takes a critical view toward the current use
of data mapping and visualization and calls for a return to traditional cartographic
techniques to reimagine the manifestation and manipulation of the ground itself. Each
of the ten chapters focuses on a single cartographic technique--sounding/ spot elevation,
isobath/contour, hachure/hatch, shaded relief, land classification, figure-ground,
stratigraphic column, cross-section, line symbol, conventional sign-- and illustrates
it through beautiful maps and plans from notable designers and cartographers throughout
history, from Leonardo da Vinci to James Corner Field Operations. Mohsen Mostafavi,
dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, introduces the book, a veritable atlas
of contemporary maps and techniques that is as beautiful as it is useful"
