Spatializing design history: Considerations on the use of maps for studies on print culture

Spatializing design history: Considerations on the use of maps for studies on print culture

HANNS, Daniela Kutschat; DIXON, Catherine; FARIAS, Priscila Lena

Article:

In the last decades, there has been a growing interest in the use of geographic information for historical research. Parallel to that, there has also been an increasing interest for data visualization as an aspect of information design, leading to a significant number of studies and developments in the field of cartographic design. The main argument of this essay is that historical GIS and spatial history are relevant approaches for design history. This is demonstrated with examples of research on the history of typography and print that benefited from the use of analogical and digital maps.
