"Mapping" is this article is both familiar and inexperienced for me. Everytime I start a project, map is always the first thing I look into, but usually only those visible and existing elements come into my mind. The most interesting point in the article that inspires me is, " the maps are in-between the virtual and the real". That means, we should not only pay attention to the phenomena existing now, but also look into the history and reason in the past as well as the consequences and tendencies in the future.
I'd like to share with you a futuristic proposal for San Fransicso in 2018, by Lwamoto Scott Architecture, named "Hydro-net". The concepts will have towers for harvesting algae, geothermal "mushrooms" and sophisticated fog catchers that will distil fresh water from San Francisco's infamous fog. An extensive network will be established that fulfils the infrastructural needs for the circulation of traffic, people, water, harnessed energy and distribution systems in the city to form an enormous super-system, which resembles algae and "chanterelle" mushrooms in its form.
