The VisualComplexity website collection of knowledge and visualisation projects.

This website holds an amazing collection of different ways to visualise domains of knowledge. With 141 projects Manuel Lima’s webarchive spans domains such as arts, biology, computer science, knowledge networks, social networks, transport networks and many more truly fascinating examples thus visualising the complexity of visualisation.

I’ll start reading Manuel Lima‘s latest book 😉

Manuel Lima’s authorship on knowledge and visualization

Sounds interesting; Manuel Lima’s latest book about visualization: “The Book of Circles. Earlier” books are “The Book of Trees” and “Visual Complexity”.

“Join Manuel Lima for a fascinating tour through millennia of circular information design in architecture, urban planning, fine art, design, fashion, technology, religion, cartography, biology, astronomy and physics in a visual feast for infographics enthusiasts. From Venn diagrams and early celestial charts to the trefoil biohazard symbol and Target’s corporate logo, Lima provides a history of humanity’s long-lasting obsession with all things circular and a unique taxonomy of the many varieties of circle diagrams.”
