JAMES CORNER : MAPPING

James Corner is an American Landscape Architect and theorist. His 1999 essay The Agency of Mapping; Speculation, Critque and Invention in Mappings explores the potential creative capacity of mapping processes.

“As a creative practice, mapping precipitates its most productive effects through a finding that is also a founding; its agency lies in neither reproduction or imposition but rather in uncovering realities previously unseen or unimagined, even across seemingly exhausted grounds. Thus mapping unfolds potential; it re-makes territory over and over again, each time with new and diverse consequences.”
