Cartographic Design as Visual Storytelling: Synthesis and Review of Map-Based Narratives, Genres, and Tropes

This paper explores the potential of a different kind of counter-mapping. It focuses upon a critical reading of five different architectural atlases and argues that their construction and design reveals how ‘re-cartographies’ can narrate novel stories about places. The narrative power of these atlases is traced back to a focus upon relations between phenomena, and a careful consideration of how to map the mutability and dynamism of the built and natural environment. They offer new kinds of selection, classification and symbolisation; deploy hybrid forms to destabilize taken for granted binary distinctions between nature and culture; use montage and juxtaposition to reveal scalar linkages; re-imagine figure–ground relationships to reveal functional city forms and processes; and explore the potential of meta-structures in the relations between different maps in an atlas layout. Taken together, they show how the cartographic imagination can escape from standard and accepted orthodoxies. They also rev...

Re-cartographies of Landscape: New Narratives in Architectural Atlases

Chronologies of a (Sub)urbanized Territory explores how the depth and scope of an atlas can be increased through a careful engineering of the interplay between its constituent maps. This research aims to develop a structure for an atlas that can include the plural and often very diverse historical processes affecting the territory without jeopardizing the coherence of the atlas as a whole. Chronologies of a (Sub)urbanized Territory explores the perpetual reproduction of the heavily (sub)urbanized territory in southwest Flanders. The atlas is comprised of three diachronic map series: Frames, A Classic Chronology and Interrelations. Each series pictures the passage of time in a specific way and therefore offers a distinct ‘take' on the history of the region. Perpendicular to these three diachronic map series, synchronic readings of the territory can be composed: the variation between the three series in terms of scale, and in the categories that are displayed, enable the reader to gain a multi-angled perspe...

Chronologies of a (sub)urbanized territory: Reimagining (sub)urbanization processes in southwest Flanders, Belgium

Re-cartography is a designerly mapping practice that aims to challenge dominant spatial epistemologies while expanding the scope of our spatial imagination. Particularly relevant to contemporary complex spatial problematics, and emerging within the context of urbanism, re-cartography is an intrinsically projective practice that is orientated towards a (re)shaping of the environment. This paper presents a short processual account of three re-cartographies of southwest Flanders. These three cases represent an ongoing attempt to reimagine the region in contemporary terms. Taken together, they remap the area in terms of multiplicity, heterogeneity, and hybridity, and reimagine the territory as a dynamic layering of different historical processes and relationships. To this end, the maps rethink common cartographic strategies and procedures—such as element selection, categorization, and symbolization, periodization, layering, scaling, and atlas composition—and recombine them in novel ways. They also demonstrate...
