大地之上：基于人的尺度的图绘

From the Ground Up: Mapping at the Human Scale

传统地图作为一种客观的传统表现手法,抹杀了场所的复杂性和丰富性。文章通过对一些学者和艺术家作品的讨论,分析了图绘作为一种可替代的场地表现方式在当代复杂的语境下遇到的问题,并归纳了两种自下而上的图绘方法——近距离观察和跟踪。通过这两种图绘方法,我们可以对场所产生更为系统化的、跨越边界与尺度的理解,并帮助建构出场所与场所之间新的关系和连接。

Map is a site inventory without speculation that does not have much influence on the final outcome.Instead of replicating what is already known,mapping unearths hidden aspects of a place and articulates the space we live in.In this paper,the author summarises some critical questions of mapping and suggests two different types of bottom-up mapping techniques(close observation and following)through reflecting upon some scholars and artists’works.These mapping techniques will help construct new relationships and connections across site and a systematic understanding of space/place may emerge.
