ABSTRACTION

Abstraction + Synthesis

Abstraction

  1. What is abstraction?
  2. What is the purpose of abstraction?

Abstraction / Representation

  1. What is the difference between abstraction and representation?
  2. What is the difference between diagrammatic and representational?

Minard

figure: Napoleon’s March to Moscow, Charles Joseph Minard (1790-1870), Paris, 20 November 1869

https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/229-vital-statistics-of-a-deadly-campaign-the-minard-map

It integrates 6 types of data:

  • Geographic features
  • Path of travel
  • Invasion and retreat in color
  • Number of troops in width
  • Temperature
  • Time

• Geography: rivers, cities and battles are named and placed according to their occurrence on a regular map.

• The army’s course: the path’s flow follows the way in and out that Napoleon followed.

• The army’s direction: indicated by the colour of the path, gold leading into Russia, black leading out of it.

• The number of soldiers remaining: the path gets successively narrower, a plain reminder of the campaigns human toll, as each millimetre represents 10.000 men.

• Temperature: the freezing cold of the Russian winter on the return trip is indicated at the bottom, in the republican measurement of degrees of réaumur (water freezes at 0° réaumur, boils at 80° réaumur).

• Time: in relation to the temperature indicated at the bottom, from right to left, starting 24 October (pluie, i.e. ‘rain’) to 7 December (-27°)

 

 

What data is embedded in the diagram? Is it abstract, diagrammatic, representational?

The individual unit actually has very little meaning by itself because it doesn’t lend itself to any greater understanding that the synthesis of units acting together.

Big Data

  1. Data driven design decisions
  2. Role of data in discovery of design strategies
  3. Data sources

The unit is individuals taking photographs and their geolocation, whole is the delineation of tourist photos and versus non-tourist photos

Measured Lines

Lines

Use Rhino to carefully control the measurement of lines and their arrangement in space.

Use Illustrator to control line weight, line type and other design communication characteristics.
