Redheaded thoughts

permalink anthropologie:

My friend Joe is fascinated with maps, but frustrated by the limitations of their edges. His solution? A continuous, global city:

Collage is a way to bring some vibrancy back to idea of maps. Piecing together scraps of urban fabric is a hunt for new points of continuity and activation. This creative combination doesn’t really play well with borders, and I found that by working on a sphere instead of a plane, I could create an endless collage. After all, a global city has no borders.
