An Epic Adventure.

My Map Idea

Mapping Project Ideas

Allison Plummer's Map Proejct Proposal










Slightly incoherent, but the basic idea is for a family tree map of my living relatives.

The City of Iowa, USA

All about taste




Maria Elisa Mandarim
I am going to map the people I am connected with via facebook or/and by phone according to where they live or are currently located.

My (completely dumbed down) plan.

College of Dupage

College of Dupage, Arts Campus McAninch Arts Building



Directions from College of Dupage, to Studio Arts Building



How they could find me.

A. Columbia College Transcripts Office 1001 Rogers St. Columbus, MO 65216


B. UI Studio Arts Building Digital Photo Lab 1357 highway 1 Iowa city, IA 52246



C. Directions from A to B (Click to view larger)




From Fairfield, Iowa to the SAAH


Bloomsdale, MO 63627














Glendale, WI 53217 --> Studio Arts, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA


Above is some general information about Glendale and its location within Wisconsin.

Below are driving directions from Glendale to the University of Iowa's Studio Arts building in Iowa City, IA.

Once you have followed the directions above, arrived at Studio Arts, and parked your car in the parking lot, enter the large set of sliding doors located on the right side of the building beneath the "Studio Arts" sign. Once inside, you will notice a security guard station on your left. Walk past the station and angle slightly left towards room 1406 (you do not need to walk down a hallway to get there-- the entrance to this room opens to the main lobby). This is the room I am in. There is a sign that says "photography" on the door and a banner that reads "photography" hanging from the ceiling above it.


Piece U of I Snail Mail


Where This Came From And Where It Is Now and What I'm Doing

Here is my envelope...



My envelope came from this address... a very drab looking place... it travels on the imaginary blue line...


...from Point A to point B...

...through the doors of this address and into the soft gray walls....


To its current location here... where I write my ideas on it...


And an example of what I'm talking about:
