ELEMENTS/FRAGMENTS – urban landscape infographics
Andrea Ressi »
The series ’ELEMENTS/FRAGMENTS – urban landscape infographics’ presents a survey of exemplary global city landscapes of the 21st century.
Since the turn of the millenium, with the growing availability of data and the search for means of depicting it visually, infographics - a hybrid of image, text and geometric form – has come to play an increasingly important role. ELEMENTS/FRAGMENTS makes use of this well-known, easily and universally readable language of signs, logos and pictograms in depicting the essential features of complex urban situations using highly original individual infographics (cf. The City a Social Space, Henri Lefèbvre, Locality as a Structure of Feelings, Arjun Appadurai).
