A POETIC GIFT TO URBAN PLANNERS FROM STAMEN DESIGN

This design agency in San Francisco called STAMEN DESIGN created a awesome free tool on line to automaticaly generate water colors maps from Googlemaps....It is amazing, and so kind of them.

Cities have shapes, they have a body, that grew over time, over centuries, like an living organism : the roads are their bones, their squeletons.

This tool makes you realize this in such a obvious and charming way : its like water color paintings from the sky, satellite water paitings of landscapes.

Thanks to STAMEN DESIGN. This is Heaven. Check this out. (the orange and red are the roads, the scales are not the same on each paiting but doesn't matter for now)
