This book is the fruition of work from contributors to the Art and
Cartography: Cartography and Art symposium held in Vienna in
February 2008. This meeting brought together cartographers who were
interested in the design and aesthetics elements of cartography and
artists who use maps as the basis for their art or who incorporate
place and space in their expressions. The outcome of bringing
together these like minds culminated in a wonderful event, spanning
three evenings and two days in the Austrian capital. Papers, exhi-
tions and installations provided a forum for appreciating the
endeavors of artists and cartographers and their representations of
geography. As well as indulging in an expansive and expressive
occasion attendees were able to re? ect on their own work and
discuss similar elements in each other's work. It also allowed
cartographers and artists to discuss the potential for
collaboration in future research and development. To recognise the
signi? cance of this event, paper authors were invited to further
develop their work and contribute chapters to this book. We believe
that this book marks both a signi? cant occasion in Vienna and a
starting point for future collabo- tive efforts between artists and
cartographers. The editors would like to acknowledge the work of
Manuela Schmidt and Felix Ortag, who undertook the task of the
design and layout of the chapters.

This new book is the product of a unique research, teaching, and
exhibition project at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Faculty and
students of the university's Institute for Art and Architecture IKA
dedicated a full year to investigate the highly controversial
modernist architecture of the three decades between 1950 and 1980.
Their goal was to assess the state and current use and to interpret
the aesthetic, history, and public acceptance of four selected
buildings from today's perspective. Eventually, the students
created designs and proposals for moderate to radical changes for
these structures. The surprising results of this undertaking offer
a very differentiated picture of Vienna's General Hospital (AKH),
the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation's studio complex
(ORF-Zentrum), the Vienna University of Economics (WU), and the
Alterlaa housing estate. Big! Bad? Modern: reflects this diversity:
Arranged by keywords derived from the featured projects, it
provides easy access to the rich and comprehensive collection of
materials and manifold positions, and opens up new
perspectives.Essays by renowned authors such as Hermann Czech,
Francoise Fromont, Harry Gluck, Sabine Kraft and Michael Zinganel
and a preface by Nasrine Seraji round out the book.
