Lower Manhattan drawn by year built
An interactive architectural drawing of every building standing in Lower Manhattan, each drawn in the year it went up with real footprints and heights; tap a tower for its story. Fable 5.5 made it from one prompt as a Claude artifact, the creator says.
“Real footprints, real heights, true scale.”
