Our Victoria group recently met up to combine creative powers and hash out some fab entries for Spacing Magazine’s Creative Mapping Contest. Hoorah! Here’s what we came up with:

(1) Fragmented Orientations: Life Among the Grids in Victoria, BC

Fragmented Orientations is a comment on the diverse directionality of greater Victoria’s component street grids. 

(2) Layers

Layers is a personal recognition of the physical and cultural aspects of Cadboro Bay (Victoria), the neighbourhood I grew up in. In this map, each of the area’s individual features is isolated to highlight its unique characteristics, while simultaneously stressing interconnectivity. -Maximilian von Aderkas, Geolexa
