    I recently got commissioned by the Students Union of the University of Arts London to realise this thread map in order to promote Pathfinding.

    Pathfinding is the fresher’s week organised by Arts London. This booklet details a week of introductions and workshops across Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Chelsea College of Art and Design, London College of Communication London College of Fashion and Wimbledon College of Art.


  2. The Thing-mapping Project

    This work in progress started as a research on different methods of information mapping.

    Requested feedback led the work to evolve from being an experimental approach to information mapping to generating an on-going analysis of the systems of representation used.

    Basically I would like to use the website as a mere support for an on-going discussion on information-design so your comments are really important for the project to work!

    “to know (something) like the back of one’s hand”

    1. (transitive, idiomatic) To be intimately knowledgable about something, especially a place.

    Littéralement « connaître quelque chose comme le dos de sa main ».

    Explanation: Do you recognize this intriguing globular cluster of stars? It’s actually the constellation of city lights surrounding London, England, planet Earth, as recorded with a digital camera from the International Space Station. Taken in February 2003, north is toward the top and slightly left in this nighttime view. The encircling “London Orbital” highway by-pass, the M25, is easiest to pick out south of the city. Even farther south are the lights of Gatwick airport and just inside the western (left hand) stretch of the Orbital is Heathrow. The darkened Thames river estuary fans out to the city’s east. In particular, two small “dark nebulae” – Hyde Park and Regents Park – stand out slightly west of the densely packed lights at the city’s core.
