Ortelius map of utopia wikimedia5/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Put another way, as the author suggests, a map that offers a perfect representation of its cultural or geographic territory would be functionally useless for the purposes of design, creative thought, and ultimately, world-making. For newman, this deception is productive in that it foregrounds matters of selection and judgment which should be at the heart of any design practice. recalling the work of Mark Monmonier, this ambitious project to make mapping useful to designers of the built environment finds virtue in the way maps lie by omission.
