Towards New Connections

The way we map the world helps shape our view of it. Therefore, we explore cartography as a discipline and a way of thinking and of creating connections. 

The study project takes place in Iceland and deals with how energy landscapes and tourism can be combined in new models that minimise the impact on our natural environment. 

Through different types of landscape mapping around Hellisheiði’s geothermal plant, students investigate the interconnections between topographical data, material observations, societal issues and sensory experience. 

The image mapping creates readings based on the students’ awareness and views of the landscape. The landscape model is a result of students’ involvement with topography and intuitive investigations, fostering collective discussions about landscape dynamics. Through drawing, the students practice composition and finding new connections.
