Mapping of New York
Thursday, 01/13/2005, 8:30 AM -- 10:00 AM
Location: Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place at Bleecker
Sponsored by: AIA NY International Committee
Description: Historically, cartography has been an intrinsic ingredient of urban development, to the extent that certain urban cultures have been defined essentially by their map (as in the case of Manhattan's grid-like layout, or Amsterdam's rhizomatic streets.) Jonathan Wimpenny will give a presentation on the history of the mapping of New York City. This lecture illustrates the cultural differences of the approach to surveying Manhattan island from early discoveries, colonial habitation, military defense, the growing metropolis through recent 3D computer applications.
