Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study, as a historical study on information design, investigated the design and social meaning of world maps appeared between the 1930s and the 1950s in the US, including the works of Richard Edes Harrison, Erwin Raisz, Norman Bel Geddes, Buckminster Fuller, and Herbert Bayer.
By comparative study, two common characteristics of the designs were found as follows: the emphasis of any particular‘point of view’by using perspective drawing methods and elaborating‘realistic representation’by using three dimentional relief or physiographic drawing. Also the study pointed out that there was commonly awareness of so-called‘Air age’in even in Herbert Bayer’s famous atlas “World geo-graphic atlas”
