Abstract

A 3D printed data sculpture showing variation in male life expectancy in Glasgow city as a series of columns of differing heights. High definition shapefiles are used to show the spatial morphology of variation in life expectancy, with the Clyde river visible to aid orientation. The Glasgow road network has been added as a series of indentations to the columns to further aid orientation and add texture to the sculpture. The sculpture has an approximately A4 footprint. A more conventional choropleth map is provided as a companion, displayed alongside the 3D data sculpture.
