Constantine: Ground Plan
VII · Ground PlanThe 600 metres around the point as a figure-ground plan: buildings solid, streets and squares the paper between them.
Constantine: Axonometry
VIII · AxonometryThe buildings within 240 metres of the point, raised to their mapped heights, as an architect's axonometric drawing seen from the south-west.
Constantine: Street Compass
IX · Street CompassWhich ways the streets within 600 metres run, as a radial composition: the longer the streets in a direction, the larger its sector.
Constantine: Strata
