The Personal World Map has been developed with the idea of giving users another perception of the world. Normally we measure distances between places in km (or miles) but in the Personal World Map these distances have been replaced by travel time and travel costs. These two factors can give a better indication of relative position between places than geographical distances.
More information about the Personal World Map can be found in the about section of the project.
The Personal World Map has been my final project for the study MA Media Design at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam and has been awarded with a Honorary Mention in the category Net Vision at Prix Ars Electronica 2006

After completion of the New Towns database development, new wishes arose for the expansion of the database.
I was asked to investigate the expansion possibilities in two different aspects: how can the graphical interface offer more detailed geographical information and which are the possibilities for an on-line documentation system.

During the study MA Media Design at the Piet Zwart Institute, we created the concept, designed and developed a prototype for a collaborative website which aims approaching the definition of web design through its history.
General information about this thematic project is available at the Open History Timeline page.
