Modular quadras
The residential areas are built from repeated numbered blocks. On paper they form a steady, almost textile-like pattern of small parcels and short internal streets.

The map
Santa Maria is one of the administrative regions of Brazil's Federal District, south of the Plano Piloto and close to the boundary with Goiás. Like the other satellite cities that grew up around the capital, it was laid out deliberately. On a map, it appears as a settlement of repeating residential blocks with long straight avenues between them.
The district's naming system is visible in the street pattern. Housing is grouped into numbered quadras and conjuntos, so the map reads as a set of modules rather than a web of named streets. Green buffers and open cerrado land surround the built-up area and separate it from neighbouring regions.
A Santa Maria map poster captures the logic of the capital region. Everything comes in clear blocks, broad road reserves and edges that meet open land abruptly. It makes a clean graphic for anyone who knows the Federal District, and it looks noticeably different from the older, irregular towns elsewhere in Brazil.
The residential areas are built from repeated numbered blocks. On paper they form a steady, almost textile-like pattern of small parcels and short internal streets.
Broad main roads divide the city into sectors and link it to the highway network of the Federal District. They show up as the heaviest lines on the map.
Undeveloped savanna and green strips surround the planned grid, so the city appears as a clearly bounded shape within a pale open landscape.

Why Santa Maria
For residents and people who grew up in the satellite cities, Santa Maria's plan is familiar down to the block number. Framed on a wall, the same geometry looks surprisingly graphic, a map of home that also works as a piece of modernist design.
You can personalise the title, the subtitle and the coordinates line, for example with a quadra or a moving-in date. Then choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand to suit the room.
