I decided to map out the area around the metro stop north of where I live in Washington, DC.

Rosslyn Quilt #2

I zoomed out slightly to capture more of the quilt. The result is a map with less spatial resolution (ie, unlike the first it doesn’t maintain the 1 meter per pixel ratio) but more surrounding quilt.

Just across the Potomac River from Georgetown lies Rosslyn, Virginia. It’s buildings are taller than those in DC and much of it’s growth as a satellite city went unchecked in 1960’s. The result is a mish-mash of high-rise buildings without much of a coherent layout. You’d have to pay me to live here, but then again, it would be nice to have congressional representation.

What I like best about this map is the way the Iwo Jima Memorial is reflected around the center.

I might made another that creates a hexagon or an octogon out of the Pentagon. I think it would look really cool :-)

Pentagon Quilt by Nikolas Schiller

I’ve decided to venture over the Potomac River and make a few maps of the Washington, DC hinterland. Up next will be Rosslyn and the CIA building.

I don’t know why I decided to make maps of the Pentagon & CIA, but I figured why not just focus on a couple buildings? Most of my maps are comprised of specific areas instead of specific buildings, so in some respects, while they are not technically different, these two maps are a slight departure from the norm.

Raleigh Quilt by Nikolas Schiller

So I made two Raleigh maps, but I totally screwed up on the second. Instead of intersecting two different planes, I only had one plane. I can’t believe I rendered such an incomplete map, but alas I did. I’ve opted to not post the second one because of it’s inherent error. Maybe I’ll get around to making another….but not anytime soon.
