How I built a mapping front-end to showcase drawings of All The Buildings In New York.
The visual artist James Gulliver Hancock spent years living in New York City, and drew hundreds of the city's unique buildings in his series "All The Buildings In New York", which was also compiled into a book.
When I saw this, my instant reaction as a GIS nerd was that each drawing was really a geocodable address, which could be displayed on a map. This would allow people to explore the entirety of New York City via an intuitive mapping front-end.
This talk will cover the processes I followed, the open-source software that I used, and the surprising conclusion I reached after doing things "the GIS way".
