Cityscape of the Imagination
Monroeville, USA - Franny Wentzel - Saturday, February 28th, 2009 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
A few years back to pass the time during a long illness I took up the hobby of crafting miniature buildings out of cardboard...
Eventually I found myself with a city skyline.
I call my city 'Monroeville'
This one I modelled after a building in St Petersburg, Florida
The city hall - modelled after the one in Oakland, California
Some warehouse in Dallas where I found an old rifle laying around. It still works!
Typical disused cast iron loft building turned into high-priced condos
Art-deco radio station
An old mansion
Another old mansion
Ultra modern home
Art deco apartment house
Typical neighbourhood infill
Craftsman style suburban home
and out in the harbour. The North German Lloyd steamships Europa and Columbus

Facinatingly awesome post. It makes me want to try it (though I could never with such amazing cuteness.

An Incredible mark of artistic and intellectual dedication to the urban form. Wow.
I've been chiding myself for staying up late messing with photoshop and old photos. but yours is the true mark of using free time to create visionary art. You clearly had a lot of free time.
I will be thinking about this for a while.

Maybe dozen years ago I'd laid them out on a table and took pictures...

A homeless man passes me, pushing his cart up Grand Avenue in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn...
Incidentally, in the street on the far-right side of the first photo, you can see the FDNY arriving for the fire documented in this entry...
