Maps (and other fictional spaces)

Last Thursday I was kindly invited by Francesca Pont and Maurice Mitchell to give a lecture to Unit 6 of the diploma course in architecture at London Met.

Here (approximately 5 mb) are the slides from the lecture – apologies that there are no notes, these may follow in due course.

One of my favourite quotes from the talk is by Lewis Carroll, it wonderfully sums up the comforting nature of cartography:

He had brought a large map


Representing the sea


Without the least vestige of land


And the crew were much pleased


When they found it to be


A map they could all understand

Lewis Carroll, The Hunting of the Snark
