Comparative figure-ground maps make it possible to estimate a city's scale, walkablity, density and civic structure.
In Tout bien rangé, French artist Armelle Caron produces a cartography-based artwork that dissects cities figure-ground maps to the block, like a kit of parts.
For her project, Caron has selected a few world cities: Paris, Berlin, New York, Istanbul, and a few major French cities. Urban grids - and manipulations thereof - are frequent reoccurrence in Caron's work.
