The map
Gadani is a coastal town in Balochistan, on the Arabian Sea a short distance west of Karachi. From above, the coast is the defining feature: a long, gently curving shoreline of sand, with the town's streets gathered inland and arid, open land stretching away behind them. The street pattern is simple, with a few main roads and loosely arranged blocks.
Gadani is known worldwide for its ship-breaking yard, one of the largest in the world, where decommissioned vessels are beached and taken apart along the shore. The yard's plots line the coast in a long row. On detailed maps they create a distinctive pattern of narrow strips running down to the water's edge.
A Gadani map poster balances three elements: the bold line of the coast, the modest grid of the town and the wide emptiness of the dry land inland. It is a strongly graphic composition with plenty of negative space, and it works well in large formats. The Sand style in particular suits the colours of this coastline.
A long sweep of shoreline forms the edge of the map. Its smooth line divides the pale land from the open water of the Arabian Sea.
Plots used for dismantling ships stretch along the beach in a regular sequence. They give the coastline a distinctive, finely segmented edge.
Behind the town, arid ground with few roads leaves broad empty areas on the map. This underlines how closely Gadani is tied to the sea.
