A block 45 metres wide pierced by the great arch and, through its ends, the smaller cross arches, under a heavy cornice and the attic, sculpture groups on its piers.
Modelled from simple shapes at roughly its true size, and rendered in clay. The map draws the rest the one way it draws everything: the ground under Paris, as contour lines coloured by height, with its water and its names.
