shapes to remember...

Shapes, patterns, graphics and locations define relationships between the earth and its representation on maps, plans and drawings. The study of the different fields is called spatial analysis.

When we visualize an area or geographic feature its always best to take a picture of it… but when analyzing spatial results pictures or rasters need to be converted to vector too. Even different angles of a picture can distort or misrepresent a spatial analysis. That’s why GIS is so crucial in any field. Evaluating suitability, making predictions or understanding our planet’s fenomena are some of the core usage of the traditional GIS.

Nowadays GIS is moving into more distributed areas of specializations and wider areas of interest... we are really seeing the advent of GIS blooming. Cool.




The Bridge at Courbevoie (1886) by Georges Seurat

Concentrating on relaying the immediate visual effect of the world around them, using bold brush strokes and contrasts of colour, the artists initially drew heavy criticism for their perceived naive and trivial approach to art. From the late 1880's, public perception gradually changed and the Impressionists received reverence, paving the way for their followers Guaguin, Seurat and Van Gogh.
