Mapping the Imagined

Description

How can imaginary worlds be mapped – and what connects fantasy maps with spatial planning visualizations?

Katharina Henggeler demonstrates, using her dissertation project, how cartographic representations are used in spatial planning to visualize ideas and developments. Starting from her private fantasy cartography, the lecture also highlights the diverse functions of maps as tools for orientation, communication, and imagination, opening new perspectives on the design and perception of spaces.

Participation in the event is free of charge. Registration is requested.
