Private Cartography

The architecture of the privately owned public space, More London, is forensically investigated through contrasting cartographic representations of the site. The first is extrapolated from a site map provided by morelondon.com. The second is objective topology collected by Ordnance Survey. The third, an aggregation of data gathered through first hand surveying in compliance with the stringent rules of the site. In comparing the three models the varying perceptions of space are diagrammatised, centring critique around data and land ownership, the politics of the built environment and designed methodologies for experiential mapping.
