Maps provide layers of geographical data that direct one through the city. They guide the user in space and reveal specific parameters of the city. The “Geo-Design Mapping Workshop” offers an engaging opportunity for participants to transform environmental data derived from site and design it into visually engaging 3D and animated maps using a new simplified GIS web-based application called DataAppeal. Using DataAppeal as the digital platform, participants will take CSV or excel data-files with geo-coordinates and numerical values, and create spatial maps designed with different “presentational looks”. This offers a playful opportunity to design the visual display of your data while revealing further insights into your information.
