Each 10x10” square is a custom-made 3D-printed digital sculpture. The material is a resin that resembles marble. Many people assume it’s hand-carved stone when they see it!

These highly accurate maps are created in a 3D modeling software called Blender. Every road, railway, foot path, bike lane, forest, and coastline are included.

The 10-15 tallest and most famous buildings were modeled by a professional architect in 3D software so that they have more detail and are easily recognizable. The bulk of the data was gathered from OSM, an open-source 3D map of the world.

The water is represented by locally sourced white oak rift veneer that is stained blue with a distilled alcohol stain and laser-cut to within a fraction of a millimeter precision. Special cutting files are created using Blender that perfectly correspond to the city. Each tiny piece of wood is then epoxied onto the 3D-print.
