Published in 2017 as #11 issue of Magazine X—magazine about contemporary drawing. The earlier version of the text and maps were presented under the title “(Corner)stones of Venice: Targeting the Island Advantage in the Topological Representation of the City” at Città senza nome conference in Bari in 2009 and published online at radicalcartography.org in 2010. The current publication includes corrections of the maps based on information gathered on-site, a set of maps of 1729 Venice, and a new categorization of blocks.

The study of block representations was proposed by Roberto Casati at the Università IUAV di Venezia classes of 2008. Roberto Casati and Magda Stanová are responsible for the main body of the text. Maps have been drawn by Magda Stanová. Stéphanie Roisin helped lay the groundwork.
