Maps help us understand and
navigate the world. For centuries, maps have become better, more refined, and
more precise—there are no blind spots anymore. While Google Maps and GPS
systems have become our tools of choice for navigation, contemporary maps have
evolved into platforms for cutting-edge illustration, experimental data
visualization, and personal visual storytelling. A Map of
the World is a compelling collection of work by a new generation of
original and sought-after designers, illustrators, and mapmakers. This work
showcases specific regions, characterizes local scenes, generates moods, and
tells stories beyond sheer navigation. From accurate and surprisingly detailed
representations to personal, naïve, and modernistic interpretations, the
featured projects from around the world range from maps and atlases inspired by
classic forms to cartographic experiments and editorial illustrations.
