Here & There – A Horizonless Map of New York
May 4, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Design
The Here & There project is a pretty ingenious map that let’s people see not only where they are, but where they’ll be if they keep going. Alright, every map does that, but this one does it in a peculiar fashion. At the bottom the buildings stand upright in front of you, and the farther you go the more overheard the map is. Pretty neat, huh?
So far there are two versions, one looking uptown from 3rd and 7th, and the other looking downtown from 3rd and 35th, which is the one you see above. You can grab these maps for $65 each by clicking here.
Think someone could make one of these based around LA? Maybe looking down Santa Monica toward the ocean?

This is about one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen! I’m such a map nerd it’s not even funny.
My psycho-geographic skills are unworldly and I love when someone like these guys put together a project that takes the raw data and melds it with intuition and another level; something more sensory or affectual (yes, with an ‘a’).

This would be sweet if it was online and interactive and you could actually ‘walk’ it…
maybe someday!
wow. would love to buy that but it’s just a leeeeetle bit too much for me :(
Sweet Jebus! Map-gasm!
Very cool. Would need to be printed quite big to get the benefit of it; ideal for the wall of a room that is on the foremost street represented, less so for all others.
Funky, but I kind of like it. ;-)
