![]() ![]() These metaphors are crucial to newman’s project, yet they are capable of being more fully instrumentalized, or put to work. ![]() Mapmaking is like the scientific method it is like the act of thought itself. By newman’s estimation, we are all cartographic beings and we operate as mapmakers regardless of whether or not we are conscious of the process. In short, it both is and performs like a map. It is an unapologetically operative document concerned as much with locating the structure that enables the formation of representational method as it is with the comparative intelligence and relative strength of the methods themselves. The book is part manifesto and part historical survey, but resists being collapsed into either genre. As she writes, ‘the world is constantly revealing itself around us, but to see we must create a productive gap between lived experience and our representations, not as mirrors hide our biases, but as possible worlds we can knowingly choose to unfold.’ newman’s hypothesis here is an optimistic one, aimed at effecting the theoretical scaffolding through which design can assume greater agency in the production of alternative futures. Put another way, as the author suggests, a map that offers a perfect representation of its cultural or geographic territory would be functionally useless for the purposes of design, creative thought, and ultimately, world-making. For newman, this deception is productive in that it foregrounds matters of selection and judgment which should be at the heart of any design practice. recalling the work of Mark Monmonier, this ambitious project to make mapping useful to designers of the built environment finds virtue in the way maps lie by omission.
