Information Density

From Edward Tufte
As we discussed in class, the density of information, its legibility at a variety of distances, and its incorporation of expanded spatial and temporal scales, is an essential consideration in research of this type. Below are a few resources for thinking about how you might approach displaying complex information:
Edward Tufte. Visual Display of Quantitative Information
Edward Tufte. Envisioning Information
You may also want to look at the following books on reserve for some inspiration:
Smout/Allen. Pamphlet Architecture 30: Augmented Landscapes
Mathur & da Cuhna. Mississippi Floods.
