There is a tradition of maps as inserts in magazines to assemble particular points of interest that are relevant and useful to the moment. AD was, and is, no exception to this, and as a student research assistant in the Research Centre for Experimental Practice (EXP) at the University of Westminster, Nick Lister has generated a group of maps for the current phase of David Greene and EXP's research project LAWUN – the Invisible University. The original project imagined a serviced landscape, and was presented in the pages of AD between 1968 and 1970. Today, the research speculates on the relationship between mobile and wire‐free technology and the architecture school in determining the future education of an architect. These maps present three types of serviced landscapes present in the UK in 2004: regional parkland ecologies, locations and access between places of higher education, and the national mobile communications network. These typologies relate the first stage of a comparative study that will be used to develop the brief of the Invisible University. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
