About CityWood Primary Function: Hëlzent Kaartekonschtwierk

CityWood ass en hëlzent Kaartekonschtwierk, dat eng Stad als dreidimensionalen Objet duerstellt. Stroossen, Waasser a Landschaft ginn duerch getrennten hëlzen Schichten duergestallt, an d'Schichten erschafen Déift. All Schicht aus héichwäertegem Furnéierholz gëtt mat Lasertechnologie geschnidden, fir eng glat Uewerfläch poléiert a vun Hand zesummegebaut. D'Schichten ginn an en hëlzene Kader gesat, deen 450 mm breet, 450 mm héich an 30 mm déif ass. D'Konschtwierk kann un enger Mauer hänken oder op engem Schreifdësch stoen. D'natierlech Maserung vum Holz mécht all Kaart anescht.

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.
