This map shows a world in which Sweden, following the Thirty Years War, managed to hold on to its status as the premiere power in northern Europe, playing Poland and Russia against themselves to remain in control of the Baltic in almost every way. Now, hundreds of years later in the mid-20th century, Sweden rules an empire across the world, from North America to the Pacific Islands. It is a rich and powerful empire built on trade within and without the empire of the many goods Sweden manufactures, farms, or mines.
The Swedish Empire, however, is interesting in that it is not an empire in the traditional sense. Technically, Sweden is still a kingdom and all lands, no matter where they are, are as much a part of Sweden as Stockholm is. Rather than colonial possessions or separate parts of government, Sweden’s colonies have a say within Sweden’s parliament. This has led to a greater mixing of peoples throughout the Swedish Realm, with Africans and Pacific Islanders being found all around the Swedish metropole while European Swedes can be found in the Gold Coast, Comoros Islands, and elsewhere.
Comment définiriez vous, en anglais, les termes « mapping » et « cartography » ? Y-a-t-il une différence ?
Voilà la question intéressante posée par Naomi, une collègue architecte de Singapour.
–—
Premiers éléments de réponse
We can actually use these two terms to define « the image which is a representation of the world, or a portion (big or small) of the world »
In french, we say « je cartographie un pays » which can be translated in english by : « I am mapping a country », which means in other words that it is the same thing.
May be we could introduce a difference by saying that « mapping » would be the act of drawing a représentation of the world, and « cartography » would be generally speaking the science of representing the world by symbols (linear, surface and points), the science of graphically representing a geographical area
Be aware also that mapping and cartography are two words that could be uses for complete other purposes : for example, in Maths, it means « putting objects in relationships ». It is also used for representing the organisation opf the engine of a car, or a enterprise organogramme.
For me using one or other of the term depends on how I feel it. The choice is rather spontaneous, and there is not really rules. Some examples :
I would say :
– Participative/collective mapping : the act of drawing a geographical reality together with other people
– Critical cartography : the type of caertography which propose an alternative view to conventionnal geographical representation. But you coul find in the litterature the expression « critical mapping or experimental mapping » as well
– Historical cartography : all images and representation of the world done by ancient cartographers up to, for example, the second world war
– Data mapping : visual representation (graphics or maps) created out of quantitative data and treatment odf statistics
In conclusion, there is no risk to use a word instead of the other as both of them describe the same thing, with some slight difference described above.

The Weaponized Architecture of Paris Northern Banlieue Police Stations
▻http://thefunambulist.net/2015/10/26/the-weaponized-architecture-of-paris-nothern-banlieue-police-station
“For an important amount of the banlieues inhabitants, in particular the Black and Arab youth, the police incarnate a daily reminder of the structural antagonism at work against their neighborhood and their bodies. As explained in a past article entitled “The Banlieue Battleground: Designing the French Suburbs for Police/Military Interventions,” this antagonism reached its peak during the nine years of Nicolas Sarkozy’s executive mandates (four years as Minister of Interior and five as President) between 2003-2004, and 2005- (see the Karsher declaration, only a few days before the death of Bouna and Zyed) 2012, but it never really dissolved since then — the current Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, also formerly Minister of Interior shares a certain amount of similarities with Sarkozy’s politics, despite being part of the Socialist Party. The strategy of the State vis-a-vis the cités (high density public housing in a low density urban fabric) consists in a gradual withdrawal of its service and an increase of police control. The latter’s violence is characterized by disrespectful discourse, systematic identity control, random chase and/or arrests, and sometimes, the use of a potentially lethal arsenal coming from a prolific security market. The following photographs attempt to show that architecture as well constitutes a weapon both symbolic and effective reinforcing the strong antagonism developed by the police against the banlieue youth. The police stations’ architectures, through their spatiality, their aesthetics and the care in the materials used (brick for the Aubervilliers one, and even some marble imitation for the Pierrefitte one, see below) attempt to present them as authored works, designed by architecture offices that also conceive libraries, schools, housing, etc. However, the agenda of this architecture is fairly explicit to anyone who knows their antagonizing context: these police station are built to respond to the potentiality of a “siege” undertaken against them — a rather odd hypothesis when one knows the police arsenal — by what they imagine to be hordes of barbarian youth (paranoia is necessary to maintain the antagonism). The walls of these stations are thus opaque with various degrees of inclination (a well-known technique by 17th-century fortress architects!), the more transparent parts are elevated, out-of-reach, and the sidewalks in front of their entrances are made inaccessible for vehicles through the presence of metallic cones (ubiquitous on the Paris sidewalks). Architecture is weaponized here again, and architects should be held accountable for the responsibility of their contribution to the antagonism developed by the State and its police towards the banlieue inhabitants.”
Impressionnant !

Sentier didactique des Toblerones
La ligne des Toblerones, de son nom officiel ligne fortifiée de la #Promenthouse, est une ancienne ligne de fortifications suisse au pied du Jura dans le canton de Vaud datant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le nom de #Toblerones lui fut donné par les habitants du fait de la ressemblance de l’alignement de nombreux blocs de béton avec le fameux chocolat suisse éponyme.
Aujourd’hui un sentier pédestre, le sentier des Toblerones, suit cette ancienne ligne de fortifications.

Client-side javascript vector map rendering using Mapbox GL for the Web is beautiful and terrifically fast - and raster tiles will never rotate that smoothly !
▻https://www.mapbox.com/blog/mapbox-gl-js
Ouep ça envoie, par contre, comme le faisait remarquer @ybon, le projet semble accaparer Vlad le dev de Leaflet. Espérons que le beau projet qu’est Leaflet ne va pas être délaissé...
Et puis leur version de l’open source est plus proche du « open door to MapBox accounts »…
Par ailleurs, c’est beau, mais je suis pas sûr que plus de 1% du parc informatique mondial soit capable d’afficher ça dans les 2 prochaines années (stats officielles sorties de mon chapeau).
Mais sinon, techniquement, tip-top, c’est la dream team, et oui c’est le géo web de demain, merci à eux de lui donner vie :)
Je n’avais pas réalisé que le développeur de Leaflet y est impliqué... Je me demande si une couche vectorielle Mapbox GL pourra être empilée dans une carte Leaflet.
Je trouve dommage de souhaiter qu’un développeur soit cantonné ad vitam eternam dans son vieux projet ; c’est libre, il faut que ça circule et que d’autres gens reprennent. Seule manière que ce soit vivant sur le long terme, et que le développeur ne se sente pris au piège.
Sinon ouais la « coopétition » entre mapbox et osm est très intéressante. On compte sur toi @ybon pour nous aider à suivre ça !
La réponse à ma question : ▻https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8144877
Leaflet creator here, worked on both libraries.
It makes a lot of sense because this library is vastly different from usual slippy maps — fluid continuous zoom & rotation, extremely powerful visualization and interactivity potential, no DOM constraints — fitting it into the Leaflet API which was designed for simple image tile-based maps would be very limiting.
On the other hand, Mapbox GL JS is a very complicated technology under the hood, it is much heavier, with more code, lots of algorithms, serious backend technology to support it etc. So there’s a place for both libraries — Leaflet remaining the go-to super-simple, friendly and lightweight library for most maps, while GL JS being an experimental ground for maps of the future with unlimited potential.
Also, Mapbox GL JS + Leaflet integration plugin is coming soon. Stay tuned :)

Art from infrastructure : The art of Google Maps | The Economist
▻http://www.economist.com/blogs/prospero/2014/03/art-infrastructure
Et je découvre aussi cette autre artiste très intéressante. décidément, ce matin, c’est fête on dirait.
JENNY ODELL, a San Franciscan artist, often finds inspiration in the landscapes she sees while flying overhead. If she spots a promising piece of Earth from a plane, she scours the relevant parts of Google Maps to investigate further. What she is looking for are odd, often industrial, forms and shapes—water-treatment facilities, swimming pools, railway yards, shipping containers and the like—whose images she can use in her digital prints.
(Her work has been displayed at the Google Maps headquarters in Mountain View, California.)
Ms Odell’s latest exhibition, “Infrastructure”, currently showing at San Francisco’s Intersection for the Arts, examines the structures, networks and mechanisms necessary for supplying transport, commerce, power, utilities and drinking water. Among her inspirations are Mark Lombardi’s “Global Networks” graph drawings and Chris Burden’s “Metropolis II”, a more recent “kinetic” art project using toy cars.

“This schematic map shows a simplification of the world’s network of submarine fibre-optic cables.
The map uses data sourced from cablemap.info. Each node has been assigned to a country, and all nodes located in the same country have been collapsed into a single node. The resulting network has been then abstracted.”

The Washington Post predicts a year full of #coups in Africa

The Washington Post’s foreign affairs blogger #Max_Fisher (about whose infatuation with coloured maps we blogged before here and here) posted an entry earlier this week entitled: ’A worrying map of countries most likely to have a coup in 2014’. It is based on the work of political scientist #Jay_Ulfelder. The post includes a coloured map of the globe with countries coloured from light yellow to dark brown. And as you might guess, the darker the country, the more likely it will see a violent overthrow of the government some time this year.
