IMAGE OF THE CITY: FROM MAP TO CARTOID
DOI: 10.23951/2312-7899-2017-4-28-48
The article describes the situation of changing perceptions of the human habitat by the example of city images and city plans. It is shown that the image of an ideal utopia city is inferior to the image of the city as a way of life and habitat. As a result, there is a transition from attempts to accurately image and seize the city and space in maps and schemes that metrically preserve the image object on a scale, to describing the city and space in the idea of the cartoid. The cardoid here is understood as a sign-symbolic image of the mode of action when a person masters space. The author shows that the cartoid as an idea and method naturally arose in the situation of the need to describe a person’s navigation, if necessary, to routing them their progress and mastering the space. The article gives examples of maps and cartoids of specific cities and territories.
