Jeremy Buuck: How to Lie With Maps

I thought this article could be used a tool in the professional world. It showed me that there are ways to finagle documents to persuade people to go with your point of view. Although in some ways I feel that this is unethical, I have to say I have done this a few times with studio projects here at LSU. I still feel that if the end result is the quality that you set forth in the development of your plans and the client(s) approve of the final design then, no harm done. I think that this element of deception can be seen throughout the practice of landscape architecture. But i think that the main reason for this is to show the true potential of a site and not the distractions that surround it.
