Reading the models

These models combine information from different dates. Some buildings are detailed studies; others show an approximate shape. Each project has its own source notes in the project register.

Existing buildings, construction and proposed development are shown separately. A proposal can change or never be built; a dated construction model is not a promise of completion.

Some older designs remain where their current status is unresolved. Violet identifies an uncertain source version. Tree positions use City data where available; crowns, extra woodland canopy and lighting are illustrative.

The models are visual research. They are not a building, property-boundary or engineering survey.

Building studies

Architects, developers, designers, photographers and local contributors have helped improve individual buildings. Their credits and the limits of each study stay with the project notes.

Contributed source files, drawings, photographs and private correspondence remain separate from the public website. A reference credit does not grant permission to reuse the original artwork.
