Abstract

Abstract: Through a cartographic dérive of Greenwich, home of the Prime Meridian, Architectural Association Head of Communications Ryan Dillon reveals lines, variances, elisions, paradoxes and lies in a world that cannot be totally known or described. His trajectory provokes musings on the inconsistencies of the map and the modelling of any terrain.
