The map
Loos is one of the communes that make up the continuous urban fabric of the Lille metropolitan area, bordering the city directly to the south-west. On a map there is no clear break between the two: streets simply carry on across the boundary, and Loos reads as a tightly woven section of the larger conurbation, cut through by railway lines and main roads.
Much of the town is made of long rows of narrow brick houses typical of French Flanders, laid out along streets that alternate between gentle curves and straight stretches. Part of the large hospital and health campus that serves Lille extends into Loos, and a former Cistercian abbey here was long used as a prison, a well-known chapter in the town's past.
A Loos map poster works as a close-up portrait of northern French suburban life: the rhythm of terraced streets, the wide footprints of institutional sites, the straight lines of rail cutting between neighbourhoods. Printed in black and white, the density of the fabric becomes almost textile-like, a pattern that holds its interest from across the room.
Streets flow across the municipal boundary without a pause, so the map shows Loos as part of one continuous urban fabric rather than a separate town.
Large hospital and research buildings form a cluster of broad, open shapes on the map, clearly different from the narrow residential plots that surround them.
Railway lines cut across the town in long, confident strokes, dividing neighbourhoods from one another and adding strong straight lines to the composition.

Why Loos
Many people have passed through Loos for work, study or treatment, and many more grew up in its streets. A map of it is personal rather than touristic, and the title, subtitle and coordinates can be changed to add a name, an address or a meaningful date.
The poster comes in five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Download it for $9 as high-resolution files in six sizes, including 50×70 cm and A2, or order a printed version on matte paper.
