Cambridge Palimpsest

Issam Kourbaj, Artist in Residence writes:

"As part of the University's 800th anniversary celebrations, Cambridge University Press has published a signed and numbered limited edition (800 copies) of my Palimpsest: a layered puzzle charting the development of the city. 

The Palimpsest is now available from the CUP bookshop. Please drop me a line (ik254@cam.ac.uk) if you would like me to reserve you a copy."

You can read an article about Issam's different ways of mapping cities in the article 'Cambridge Palimpsest and my artaeology' from the Lent term edition of Pieces magazine here.
