The act of mapping is impossible, Solnit asserts, since “what we call places are stable locations with unstable converging forces.” Things are always changing; we all see the world differently. Solnit embraces this cartographic paradox, placing as much value on the act of engagement as on the accuracy of the rendering.

COMPUTOR CITY: A synthesised metropolis with electronic changeability. The activities of an organised society occur within a balanced network of forces which naturally interact to form a continuous chain of change. A METROPOLIS is situated at the point of maximum display of interactive energy and shows the most complex field of forces. In the COMPUTOR CITY this energised field is synthesised at a much higher sensitivity and is programmed to respond to changes in activity. Time scales of change are fed into the computor so that reaction follows the natural cause at optimum rate. This area of COMPUTOR CITY sustains approx. 100,000 people. The sensitised net detects changes of activity, the sensory devices respond and feed [sic] back information to programme correlators. Dennis Crompton Metropolis: Archigram Magazine Issue no. 5

In 1956, A sequel to ‘Outrage’, ‘Counter-attack against subtopia’ was published, showed how towns, villages and the countryside could be improved with good design.

Drawing, photography, plans, maps and typography combine to guide the reader. The maps and drawings allow the reader to orientate themselves and to “see” the bigger picture…

Cullen called this presentation, serialvision. It’s a series of views stitched together with maps and commentary…

There are pages of, for example, types of street furniture and signage. Nairn and Cullen had already recognised the tendency of this kind of material to stack up and to become part of the problem…rather than to be part the solution. This is a systemic consequence of a kind of thinking where everyone is adding, and nobody is looking at the whole.
