New Release — “De Wereld van Marcus Gerards: Brugge in 1562”
We’re thrilled to announce the release of “De Wereld van Marcus Gerards: Brugge in 1562”, the ultimate book on Marcus Gerards’ iconic map of Bruges. For those who haven’t seen it yet, this historic map is a true masterpiece filled with intricate details — perfect for getting lost in.
Our founder and CEO, Andries, had the honour of writing the epilogue, where he explores the connection between maps and video games, and the creative possibilities of the “digital map as a canvas.”
As a child, Andries was captivated by Gerards’ map, sparking his passion for Information Design. Today, even younger generations are discovering the magic of maps — although now, it’s often maps from video games that end up on their walls.
Kudos to editor Koen Goeminne and the team of experts who made this project possible!
The book is already earning 5‑star reviews for its depth and attention to detail.
