Cartographies of the Imagination is a wondrous collection of introductions to potential architectural novels. Written and crafted in drawings, models, installations, 3D scans and collages, this atlas of 33 mapping projects tells tales of fact and fiction. Gardens, the Silk road, Europe, Asia, a cottage, New York, debris, atmospheric curiosities, archaeology, volcanic islands, female cities, ghost cars, cosmic maps, the unconscious, golden clouds, lakes, geological monuments and the moon, are amongst some of the characters these projects narrate with. The settings are real and imagined, poetic and critical. Lost lands and the importance of going nowhere. Reconstructed spaces by acute observation and the dissection of shadows and their shadows. Improbable maps that act as rehearsals for the creation of places. Re-remembered bodies; versatile vessels that bring together improbable routes for future explorers. And sometimes, the most mysterious thing about a half-place, the place that exists between the real and the imagined, the fact that it’s not mysterious at all. The direction these mapping projects take suggests a measure of the world which is not settled. Where symbols shift, data is poetically gleaned and softness prevails.
