Together with our students of the International Master of Cartography, we visited the Otto Neurath exhibition “Sprechende Zeichen“ at the Wirtschaftsmuseum in Vienna. The exhibition is dedicated to Otto Neurath, founder of the Society and Economic Museum. Otto Neurath developed new graphics techniques during the First World War. He was a member of the philosophical Wiener Kreis and developed the Viennese method of image statistics to present statistics in an easily understandable, visual form.
Students from the Cartography Master meet students from Iowa State University
Thanks to Alenka Poplin and her students from Iowa State University for visiting our Research Division during spring break! Together with our students from the International Cartography Master program, they were introduced to the research field of emotion mapping and jointly conducted interviews in which they explored how Vienna is perceived by its inhabitants and where people find restorative places in the city.
Thanks to our guest lecturers!
This week we had the pleasure to welcome three prominent guests who shared their expertise with our students:
- Prof. Philippe de Maeyer: lecture on Cartographic Semiology
- Prof. William Cartwright: lecture on Cartography and Emotions
- Dr. Kenneth Field: lecture on Design and Cartography
In his guest lecture, Kenneth Field shared his journey of making the book “Cartography.” On this occasion, he handed over a hard-cover copy of his book for our library. Thanks!
