Future cities are currently being planned with statistics from the past, constructed by the data gathered by different government statistics offices. They project the future through the trajectories of the present. I use these data sets to construct a map of a ‘future city’, modelled off of the coastline of the Irish Sea. Combining flat tiles and 3D ceramic printing, I translate CO2 emission data sets into infographics in 10 x 10 cm grided segments, replicating the dioramas of city planners and museum displays.
