Artist Troy Huang came up with an idea to capture the essence of New York City by constructing a scale replica of Manhattan that contains every building, street and landmark that the borough features integrated into a 3D printed and LED lit desk. Huang laser cut out sheets of plywood in order to replicate the topography of the island of Manhattan, then 3D modelled and 3D printed each individual city block. After gluing the city blocks in place he installed LED lights underneath, as well as replicas of the fallen World Trade Center Twin Towers to act as the legs.
