Dr Moa Carlsson is a Lecturer in Architectural Design at the University of Edinburgh, researching histories and practices of computing and information technology in design, planning and cartography in Great Britain and the United States after 1945. Her current project examines how views in the built environment become political instruments that are variously treated as geometric abstractions and lived realities. Through case studies in the UK and the US, she researches how outcomes (maps, diagrams, graphs and perspectival views) of particular computer systems have been used since the mid-1960s to strategically govern visual identities of urban and rural landscapes.
