‘Europe 27’ Map
2012
Design: Point Supreme Architects
‘Europe 27’ On the occasion of the Cyprus Presidency of the European Union Council during the second half of 2012, the proposal invents a new representation for the EU; the latter is shown as a rectangle composed by 27 pieces; the countries. In this abstract, geometrical map the emphasis is given on unity and the relation of the whole to its parts.
All the countries fit as in a puzzle and give the European Union its complete rectangular shape. The countries are reduced into simple geometric shapes reflecting basic characteristics, relationships and geographical position but quitting further information, therefore mostly becoming pieces of the whole. In different applications of the map, the various countries appear in 7 groups reflecting the different phases of their incorporation into the Union from 1952 till 2007.
The project won second prize in the open competition organized by the Conference Center in Lefkosia, Cyprus, in the occasion of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU during the second half of 2012.
