maps, deconstructed

istanbul.

new york city.

tamarac.

berlin.

le havre.
paris.

montpelier.
these incredible side-by-side maps are the work of french artist armelle caron.  starting with traditional city maps, she breaks down, compartmentalizes, and then rearranges the usable space into an altogether new form of map.  i think the end result is beautiful, and in a way the grid reminds me of a map legend.  stunning!  found via strange maps, see more of her work at her website here.
