What do we see behind a map? How do modern mapping strategies approach displacement and how can this be visualized and communicated? How is architecture and urbanism connected with shifting environments of global movements?

About the Seminar

In this Seminar, Sofya Markova will present her research on exposed territories worldwide through an architectural lens. The presentation will look at how environments of displacement are depicted and perceived architecturally.  Markova will also discuss the strategies and tools for more critical and comprehensive cartographic mapping that captures the richness of these environments, incorporating all layers of their history and all voices within them.
