a psycho-geography reading of berlin through experience.
a personal mapping of boundary and edge. 
an understanding of where identification was placed.

"But this is Berlin, the harsh capital of the northern barbarians. Everything here is too large or too flat, too distant or too close. Here, they can only manage vacant lots and demolitions. This was a garrison town; here was the Kaiser, and here was the war. Nothing is light and lively; everything is somehow off the mark"

                                                don't draw the wall

this particular map comes with an explanation lest it is misunderstood or not even understandable. either are a high possibility

the intention: to draw the pieces of the city (in this case berlin, dur) that gave hints to where the wall was going to squirm its way through the city. yes yes, the soviets thought they were making these decisions. perhaps a few they did, but from the urban form of the city the wall was turning and twisting in what appears to be a nonsense manner. my hope is that this map proves the nonsense wrong. in a practical way when we make a wall, it goes straight 95% of the time. in berlin the wall was based on the underlying infrastructure, or the boundary of a region, edge of a park, bank of the Spree river, even a bridge for crossing, it is in these pieces that the wall was given it's shape. or delineation that created west from east.
