The idea
One article tells only part of a place’s story. Readers need connections to other material and a way to return to stories set aside.
The thematic map links cities to stories. Dossiers and the archive support further reading, while saved stories stay in the browser.
Design decisions
Atlas nodes connect cities through construction, climate, logistics and daily life. The diagram represents links between articles, not geographic distances.
Each of the eight stories has its own text and format. City and subject connect it to other articles in the journal.
Readers can save an article to a personal reading list. Search and subject filters help them find what to read next.
