The Washington, DC is part of notNeutral's City Plate Collection #2 themed around "Culture and Capital(ism)" with New Orleans, Washington, DC, Las Vegas and Dubai chosen. With this theme they asked: how does a capital investment in manufacturing culture impact city form?

 

The National Mall, rendered in bright green, is expansive, taking up as much space as the main stretch of the Las Vegas Strip. The Potomac River, depicted in blue, bisects the plate and is the border between Washington, D.C. and Virginia. The green areas along the Virginia side of the plate are Rock Creek Park, which is twice the size of Central Park, and the enormous Arlington National Cemetery.

 

The Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol, and the White House are represented in red, but appear tiny when compared to the mammoth structures seen in Vegas and Dubai. The large red Pentagon is unmistakable. Covering nearly 30 acres, it is the only building in the city with a scale that eclipses Vegas' giant casinos.
