Intrigued by the definition of the world map in the work ‘Peta Mimpi’ by Hasanul Idris (see previous post). The Thr36ixty5ive team searched the web for other perspectives of the world.

How interesting! Do look this book up: ‘You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination’. The author, Katherine Harmon, did a fantastic job of compiling the most fantastic set of cartographic artworks. Published by Princeton Architectural Press.
