Towards a Forensic Atlas for Threshold Territories<\/strong>
Countermapping the U-1277 Wreck<\/em>
Leonor Carvalho<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

This research proposes alternative representations of the U-1277 submarine wreck, scuttled by its own crew off Leix\u00f5es in 1945, through graphic and editorial design. Drawing on sonar imagery, bathymetry and visual records, it constructs a speculative cartographic system that opens other ways of seeing and knowing the subaquatic territory, through post-representational cartography and forensic countermapping, in three iterative cycles of definition, assessment, design and revision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outcome is an atlas of loose plates printed in gold on black paper, whose structure builds an argument about what it means to map a shipwreck and how design produces knowledge about territories that conventional cartography cannot reach. The framework offers a transferable model for other threshold territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
