Mapping has been one of the most fertile areas of exploration for architecture and landscape in the past few decades. While celebrating this shift in representation from the material and physical description toward the depiction of the unseen and often immaterial, Cartographic Grounds takes a critical view toward the current use of data mapping and visualization and calls for a return to traditional cartographic techniques to reimagine the manifestation and manipulation of the ground itself. Each of the ten chapters focuses on a single cartographic technique--sounding/ spot elevation, isobath/contour, hachure/hatch, shaded relief, land classification, figure-ground, stratigraphic column, cross-section, line symbol, conventional sign-- and illustrates it through beautiful maps and plans from notable designers and cartographers throughout history, from Leonardo da Vinci to James Corner Field Operations. Mohsen Mostafavi, dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, introduces the book, a veritable atlas of contemporary maps and techniques that is as beautiful as it is useful. La cartographie a été l'un des secteurs les plus fertiles d'exploration de l'architecture et du paysage au cours des dernières décennies. Tout en célébrant ce changement de représentation de la description matérielle et physique vers la représentation de l'invisible et souvent de l'immatériel, "Cartographic Grounds" adopte une vue critique sur l'utilisation actuelle de la cartographie des données et la visualisation et appelle à un retour aux techniques cartographiques traditionnelles pour réimaginer la manifestation et la manipulation du sol lui-même. Chacun des dix chapitres se concentre sur une seule technique cartographique - sonder / spot elevation, isobath / contour, hachure / hatch, relief ombragé, classement des terres, figure-terrain, colonne stratigraphique, section transversale - et l'illustre à travers de belles cartes et plans de designers et de cartographes remarquables tout au long de l'histoire, de Leonardo da Vinci à James Corner Field Operations. Mohsen Mostafavi, doyen de la Harvard Graduate School of Design, présente le livre, véritable atlas de cartes et de techniques contemporaines aussi beau que pratique.
