There are more ways to measure a road than distance.
The E11 is 558.4 kilometers in total length and runs through the UAE, from its borders with Oman to Saudi Arabia, but this booklet by the Center for Architectural Discourse measures the road through stories; photographs of 26 landmarks along the highway are paired with brief fictional vignettes, poems, and conversations. Through these texts, a more profound sense of place emerges, often unreflected in cartesian measurements.
