This book concerns the city and the 'devices' that define the urban
environment by their presence, representation or interpretation.
The texts offer an interdisciplinary discourse and critique of the
complex systems, artifacts, interventions and evidences that can
inform our understanding of urban territories; on surfaces, in the
margins or within voids. The diverse media of arts practices as
well as commercial branding are used to explore narratives that
reveal latent characteristics of urban situations that conventional
architectural inquiry is unable to do. The subjects covered are
presented within a wider framework of urban theory into which are
embedded case study examples that outline the practices, processes
and interpretations of each theme. The chapters provide a
contemporary reading of urban socio-cultural conditions using
'mapping' as a lens to explore and communicate the social phenomena
and lived experiences of the dynamic and temporal city. Mapping is
developed as a form of critical instrumentality to expose, record
and contribute to the understanding of the singular essences of
space, place and networks by thematic, cognitive and experiential
modes of investigation.
