A leaving gift made from the city they're leaving

People who move take almost nothing physical with them from the everyday version of a city — the bus stop, the block, the walk to work. A map of that square is a way to send the ordinary part with them.

Why this place works in relief

Frame the area they lived in rather than the landmarks. The part of a city people miss is usually residential and unremarkable, and it is exactly that pattern of blocks and courtyards that a relief map reproduces well.

What the model actually shows

Buildings, courtyards, water and terrain come from real geodata, so the square is a factual record of that neighbourhood, not an illustration.

How it works

  1. 1. Search the place and frame the square on the map.
  2. 2. Choose palette, size and frame.
  3. 3. Generate the preview and order when it looks right.
