• A series of generative abstract building collections derived from real-world city data.

" Inspired by Theo van Doesburg & Cornelis van Eesteren's Neo-Plastic Contra-Construction Project from the early 1920's."

• Metro is a study utilizing PLUTO data to generate abstract representations of city blocks"

NYC 🗽

• Van Doesburg, the founder of the De Stijl movement promoted principles of Neo-Plasticism where both the imagined and seen world could be expressed through logical abstraction of primitive shapes and colors. -

• This implies that balanced asymmetric structures would allow the modern individual to achieve harmony with his or her surroundings. -

" Building heights are normalized and substantial efforts were made to algorithmically calculate floor plan layouts as well as optimal viewing angles."

• Color palettes were hand picked and matched with the help of coolors.co. -

• Metro is a multi-collection series, the first being Downtown NYC.

The plan is to add additional neighborhoods and city collections to the series, each with their own unique art style.
