Perinthia, one of Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. The aim of the project was based on the promotion of the city through a poster.
“ Perinthia’s astronomers are faced with a difficult choice. Either they must admit that all their calculations are wrong
and their figures are unable to describe the heavens, or else they must reveal that the order of the gods is reflected exactly in the city of monsters.“

I did not give importance only to an element for the promotion of the city as mayor I thought of planning an astral map with the coordinates with which the people of Perinthia can move within the galaxy.
At the center of the drawing there are geometric figures that symbolize the firmament (defined by astrologers as a Dimante on which are engraved the stars). Within it there Perinthia the focus where they meet the lines leading to other cities of the sky.
The dotted lines represent the other groups instead of the city as the city and signs, hidden cities, cities of the memory etc etc.
You may notice that you are under the names of the symbols, they represent the coordinates to reach them (easily read by the people of Perinthia).
