About CityWood Primary Function: Zèv Kat Jeyografik an Bwa

CityWood se yon zèv kat jeyografik an bwa ki prezante yon vil kòm yon objè an twa dimansyon. Ri vil yo, dlo ak peyizaj yo reprezante pa kouch bwa separe, epi kouch yo kreye pwofondè. Chak kouch kontraplake bon jan kalite koupe ak teknoloji lazè, poli pou yon sifas lis epi asanble alamen. Kouch yo mete nan yon ankadreman an bwa ki mezire 450 mm nan lajè, 450 mm nan wotè ak 30 mm nan pwofondè. Zèv la ka pann sou yon mi oswa kanpe sou yon biwo. Grenn natirèl bwa a fè chak kat diferan.

Unique Properties: CityWood is a wooden map artwork. City streets, water and landscape are represented by separate wooden layers. Each layer is precisely cut using laser technology. It is a three dimensional design that combines modern technology (laser cutting, GIS, OSM Data) with the beauty of wood and craftsmanship.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 450 mm x Depth 30 mm x Height 450 mm

Production Technology: The design is a multilayered city pattern object framed in wooden frame. Each layer of polished fine quality plywood is cut using laser technology.
Design Challenge: The final design is a product of a long battle between wood and city pattern. To find this unique proportion of width and depth of the each street, many prototypes were created. The color of the wood of each layer makes the whole design readable and visible as a city map.
Research: The map itself is a beauty. I wanted to transfer it to a three dimensional object. My long study of maps and GIS technology made it possible to acquire a current maps of the cities. Using laser technology I was able to create a layered model of a city. Wood is a uniquely patterned natural material and it was chosen for this design. It gives an additional rare value for each work.
Inspiration: Inspired by a actual city the project shows a city space as a 3d object. Thin yet very complex street pattern, cut in wood layers looks like minimalist modern abstract art.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2017 in Warsaw, Poland.
Operation Flow: The wood art depending on its size can hang or stand on the desk. Whether in the living room, dining room or office space.
