How Chicago compares
Every city in the gallery is drawn on the same 160 mm plate holding the same 800 m of ground, so the numbers above are worth comparing. Against the rest of the gallery, this frame is:
- 438 buildings — more open than 70% of the other 246.
- 93 m of fall across the frame — hillier than 92% of the other 246.
The link above opens the studio already framed on the Loop. Nothing is fixed: move the map, change the plate size, turn the frame to the view you know, switch the water or the woodland off. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under the ODbL.
