What can a set of lines on a map possibly tell you about that most complicated of human systems: the contemporary city? In the case of those drawn by Larissa Fassler, a huge amount.

She spends days on end at a location, documenting by hand what she sees before her, from passing cars to music spilling out of open windows, notes on temperature, rainfall and shadows and even which street corners smell of urine. Her maps provide not only a body of information that evokes urban space, but also serves as an accurate representation of place. Seen here are Fassler’s 2008 and 2010 mappings of the Neues Kreuzberger Zentrum in Berlin, built in 1974 as part of an urban regeneration plan that was never completed.
