Mapping & Understanding Spaces
Taking inspiration from the innovative work of Edward Quin* and his use of cloud-like shapes in maps to symbolise unknown territories and the unexplored, Altanube Pando seeks to rise and expand our sight to identify the general features of the universe and chart the world through a creative combination of geographic precision and artistic expression.
Cartography has come a long way from the rudimentary maps of ancient civilisations to the highly sophisticated digital maps of today. Fortunately, designing maps has remained a precious historical source of information reflecting how societies perceive and interact with their surroundings. Therefore, beyond the sole notions of geography or topography of territories, we are convinced that emphasising the notion of terroirs, with their unique characteristics and landmarks, is crucial to depicting exhaustively spaces and the place humans occupy in them.
