The four quarters

Four sheets of one city. Each is drawn at its own scale, with the places you would use on an ordinary Tuesday.

Concept project by Artlogic. Cortelle, the city of Orvane and every home on this site are fictional.

Reading a sheet

  • Streets bend at right angles and 45 degrees only: this is a diagram, not a survey.
  • A ringed clay square is a courtyard.
  • A numbered tile is a home from the list.
  • A small glyph is a local place. Every glyph is also named in the list below the map.
  • Own courtyard (solid ring)
  • Shared courtyard (dashed ring)
