TRIENNIAL SCHEMATIC MAP

UCF Students | Visual Art

A map to get you lost.  Schematic maps manipulate geography; they straighten routes and distort distances.  They’re perfect when the passengers is conveyed from A to B, but when a person needs to navigate their own way between sites, the schematic map will get them lost.

This defeats the purpose of a map.  Or does it?  Forcing people to explore roads they’d otherwise miss, and to try and work their way back to where they intended adds a bit of excitement – or frustration – to the day. Either way, it breaks up the routine, it gets people to see different places, and it gets people to think instead of blindly following the same paths as everyone else.
