MAPPING CITIES ON A DRIFT
This map is part of an ongoing work entitled "The Archive of the
inbetween". It is a compilation of works that deal
with transition, conversion and migration.
Inspired by people who are forced by circumstances
to search for new land versus land that is looking for
a new destination.
The NDSM-shipyard is one of the places included in
this archive. The map is constructed from all the buildings
that are or ever were on the wharf. Over the
course of time the drawing with all its buildings will
fade and disappear, then it is up to the future how to care for this heritage.
