Description

With continuing media changes signalled by the development of new forms of digital publication distribution, the return to traditional forms of large format publications, yet a continued ambivalence about the uses and benefits for atlases, we invite all interested in the future of atlases to join in this discussion of The Future of Atlases. We aim to consider a range of atlas-related work grouped around these three issues to enliven the discussion about the vibrant and broad, creation, use and consideration of atlases as a very evocative and stimulating type of publication and medium for crafting unique forms of geographic communication. We would like to exchange and discuss novel and reflective work concerning atlases and their future.
