Big CityFramed Poster

Big City by Konrad Zuse shows a city as a grid of tall blocks, one tower rising over the rest. The buildings sit in cool grey and blue tones against a warmer sky, so the streets read as narrow strips of pale ground between dark masses.

The framed poster rests on a hallway wall between the coat hooks and the kitchen door. A light wood frame picks up the warm tones in the sky, and the matte surface keeps the greys dull under the ceiling bulb.

Hang it so the tower lines up above a hallway table. From the front door you see the whole grid, and the narrow streets between the blocks take a moment to find.
