The Design

About CityWood Obra de Arte em Mapa de Madeira

CityWood é uma obra de arte em mapa de madeira que apresenta uma cidade como um objeto tridimensional. As ruas, a água e a paisagem da cidade são representadas por camadas de madeira distintas, e essas camadas criam profundidade. Cada camada de compensado de alta qualidade é cortada com tecnologia a laser, polida para obter uma superfície lisa e montada à mão. As camadas são dispostas em uma moldura de madeira que mede 450 mm de largura, 450 mm de altura e 30 mm de profundidade. A obra pode ser pendurada na parede ou apoiada sobre uma mesa. O veio natural da madeira torna cada mapa único.

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.
