Opis

This book stems from a belief that the practice of print based graphic design can offer a great deal to cultural geographic practices and theories relating to the understanding and representation of place. By using print-based graphic design to extend existing qualitative methodologies, the author seeks to activate the ‘multi-sensory’ and non-representational aspects of print to help reveal the richness and complexity of place. The ultimate aim of the book is to articulate a geo/graphic design process that is not specific to one particular site, but one that is adaptable and transferable, and therefore can respond equally well to very different situations.
