In pariete



Tabula
Houston spreads across a nearly flat coastal plain in southeast Texas, and with no hills or major barriers to limit it, the city has grown outward in rings. The map is organised by freeways: the Interstate 610 Loop around the inner city, Beltway 8 further out, and radial highways leaving downtown like spokes. Between them lies an enormous field of suburban streets.
Water moves slowly through this landscape in bayous. Buffalo Bayou winds east from the western suburbs past downtown, where it becomes the Houston Ship Channel and continues toward Galveston Bay. Other bayous, including Brays and White Oak, trace green lines across the grid. Memorial Park and Hermann Park form large open blocks, and the Texas Medical Center is a city within the city.
Houston is the largest city in Texas and home to NASA's Johnson Space Center, which is why the first word spoken from the Moon was addressed to it. The city is also known for having no conventional zoning code. A Houston map poster reveals the logic behind its size: rings, spokes and bayous across open ground.
Interstate 610 draws a rough square around the inner city, enclosing downtown, the Heights, Montrose and the Medical Center, and giving the map its central frame.
Houston's main waterway meanders through parks west of downtown before straightening into the ship channel, home to one of the busiest ports in the United States.
A tight grid of blocks set at an angle to the surrounding streets, downtown sits where the bayou and the major freeways converge.

Cur Houston
Houston is difficult to see in one piece from the ground, which is exactly why its map is so satisfying. Framed on a wall, the loops and bayous give shape to a city of long drives, for someone who moved there for work or grew up inside the Beltway.
Customise the title and subtitle, perhaps with a neighbourhood like Montrose or the Heights, and edit the coordinates line. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Digital files are $9 with no watermark, and printed versions come on matte paper with an optional frame.
