In the basement of the Jerusalem Municipality building, is a model of about 18km2 of the city. It's 1:500 scale, over 28 years in the making, and still being developed. City planners and policy-makers use this device as a reference point and an elevated arm allows the model unit to take precise images throughout the model for further reference. It's open to the public a couple of hours a day, although photographs are not really allowed. "A big man is really just a small man with a good map" (Bruno Latour)
There's piped music in the corridors of the Municipality building. While I was waiting to get into model room it started to register. Soft synth and atmospheric effects. And then, in English, very gently - "and relax those knees, that's right.... and one, and two, and one..." Hmmm.
