3D City Layouts by Luis Dilger

3D city layouts based on the exact three-dimensionality of topography and buildings.

Luis Dilger, a German graphic designer has created a series of 3D city layouts. The face of every city is characterized by its own unique topography, architecture, and traffic routes. These individual conditions give a city its distinctive structure.

Luis Dilger’s aim was to not only show these structures in the typical way from above. His city layouts were created using DEM Earth in Cinema 4D to show the real three-dimensionality of topography and buildings. The results are some extraordinary views of large capitals and small towns. In this article you can see layouts including the cities of New York, Amsterdam, Saint Petersburg, and San Francisco. You can find more of the extraordinary views of large capitals and small towns in his portfolio.
