James Corner, The agency of Mapping: Speculation, Critique and Invention.

From Mappings, Realtion Books, London, 1999, p. 231-252

Mapping is a fantastic cultural project, creating and building the world as much as measuring and describing it. Long affiliated with the planning and design of cities, landscapes and buildings, mapping is particularly instrumental in construing and constructing of lived space. In this active sense, the function of mapping is less to mirror reality than to engender the reshaping of worlds in which people live.
