Hypercities 2.0

I have working as an information and data architecture consultant to the UCLA Hypercities project, a map-based information publishing framework. My interest in the project lies in its approach to the spatial organization of digital media and in particular how a single system might be designed to offer a broad range of approaches to documenting the history of specific built environments, from synchronic comparison to diachronic narrative.

The current version of Hypercities that predates my involvement is here. The new version will be launched later in 2009.
