The Agency of Mapping: Speculation, Critique, and Invention


1) James Corner states; "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 the worlds in which people live", how do we see beyond the reality and whats factual to see the abstract? [213].  

2) If tracing is apart of mapping, what separates the two from one another? [214]. 

3) Mapping is suppose to lead you in the correct direction, but there are many options, points of view, and directions in which one can take. Does this make mapping abstract, if not what does? [217]. 

4) What steps need to be taken to distinguish reality and representation? [222]. 

5) How do you know when there's to much context into a map it becomes confusing?
