I enjoyed speaking at @OutlierConf this weekend on how I introduce #cartography to design students: by making schematic maps of hometowns (from all around India & beyond!).

If you missed it, here is a thread of some of the student maps to inspire you!

First, some context.
After spending all my childhood calling Delhi my *home*, I have sought *home* in many Indian cities: DEL → GOA → Mysuru → BLR → HYD → BOM → Pune → BLR ✨
I perceived each city differently from others & made memory maps to show this.

When @venkatrajam invited me to introduce cartography to his students, we blended this idea of mapping personal lived experiences with schematic map (like Harry Beck’s London tube map, or any other metro map you’ve seen)

Voila: Schematic hometown mapping exercise was born!
