Community 3-D-printed map

The Community Geography Lab in Ohio organized a mapping project for Kent residents to map historical Census data:

This map was created working closely with South End residents, including three mapping workshops in Summer 2025 where folks could research the history of their homes and print 3D houses to add to the map. These houses were designed using the open source software program Blender to approximate the houses that were there in the decades shown on the map. Their location was estimated using Sanborn Maps, and their style is primarily identified using houses that exist today. Houses that no longer exist are signified with a generic monopoly-style house.

This seems fun. I kind of want a giant cork board and a big box of thumbtacks now.
