Designer Anne Stauche has just developed a folding paper map that mimics some of the features of their digital counterparts. Map 2 zooms in when unfolded. Starting with an overview of a city, it then unfolds into a transit map, and then again into four equal section. Each one is a zoomed view of a city area. So far she has made maps for Berlin and London.
