Supplementary Reading: James Corner, Mappings, 213-252

"Mapping is a fantastic cultural project, creating and building the world as much as measuring and describing it. Long affliated with the planning and design of cities, landscapes and buildings, mapping is particularly instrumental in the construing and constructing of lived space. In this active sense, the function of mapping is less to mirror reality than to engender the re-shaping of worlds in which people live." (Corner, 213)
