The process of representing the three-dimensional world as flat and map-like requires a notational language. Our proposal places a new set of distinct symbols \u201con the map\u201d by creating them for the Google Earth point of view. With paint and little else, Newark can define itself, celebrate its entry points, and address a global audience, all in one stroke. The painted \u201cevents\u201d are visible and engaging on Google Earth, while the real locations would be signed with images from above that explain the colors and patterns on the ground.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iamtheweather.com\/vveather\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/01eb276b-50ac-4162-9a0c-ce375a49b548.jpg\" alt=\"01EB276B-50AC-4162-9A0C-CE375A49B548.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"513\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newark Gateways by Pentagram Architects to create a series of gateways to the city of Newark New Jersey.
