The map
Dawan lies in Chongqing Municipality, in the hilly country of the Sichuan Basin. On a map it is compact and shaped by the terrain. The streets follow the valley floor and the lower slopes, while the ridges around it remain largely unbuilt. Roads leave the town by winding along the lines of the landscape rather than cutting straight across it.
The countryside around Chongqing is known for its closely packed hills, and farmers have terraced many slopes over generations. From above this creates a fine, layered texture that contrasts with the denser streets of the town. Small reservoirs and streams fill the lowest ground.
A Dawan map poster is about the relationship between town and topography. The built area fits into the space the hills allow, and the roads trace the easiest routes between them. The result is an organic, irregular drawing that feels quite different from the grid-planned cities of the plains.
The town's streets fill the lower ground and bend to follow it. The shape of the settlement shows the shape of the valley.
Roads leave the town along ridges and slopes in long curves. They stretch the drawing across the page and suggest the hills in between.
Much of the land around the town is unbuilt, with farmland and small water bodies. The open space frames the compact core.
