Catching up on all the new work that launched recently! Here’s another hurricane piece we did for MSNBC displaying historical hurricane data since 1851. The map has several ways of filtering and viewing hurricane paths, with sliders for time, hurricane strength and landfall location. Learn more about the project from Eric and Tom’s blog posts.

Explore the new California Academy of Sciences space in Golden Gate Park with our new map. The new Academy building was designed by Renzo Piano. The new structure has been applauded as the world’s greenest museum space, earning a platinum rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). It houses a 4-story rainforest, aquarium, planetarium, a living roof and more.

The Academy Exhibit Map conveys the fluidity of the unique museum space from water to sky, showing transitions from the lower levels of the Philippine Coral Reef to the top level of the Living Roof. Explore the exhibits, plan your visit or get to know the space.

Designed and built by Stamen in collaboration with the Interactive Media Group at the California Academy of Sciences.

This month Cloudmade launched it’s Developers Programme. Sourced from OpenStreetMap data, Cloudmade provides tools and APIs that allow developers to make the most of map data as well as provide a variety of map styles developers can choose from. Mike and I created three map styles that were presented at the launch in San Francisco and London. We created these maps using Cascadenik.

Fresh

Fresh was created for web-based applications.

Midnight Commander

We created a map style inspired by scifi films.

Pale Dawn

Pale Dawn was created as an underlayer map style to be used as a background layer with data as foreground.
