Building Age Posters

Bert Spaan's Netherland's Building Age Map visualizes the age of a staggering 9,866,539 buildings in the Netherlands. He has now created a new interactive map which allows you to create a building age static image for any location in the Netherlands. This means that you can create a customized building age poster for anywhere in the Netherlands. You can even choose the colors of the buildings on your very own custom poster.

All Buildings in the Netherlands can show you the ages that all buildings were constructed anywhere in the country and save the map as a PNG or SVG image. This is great for those who are interested in creating building age posters for their neighborhood in the Netherlands.

The new map uses Mike Bostock's new data visualization tool Observable. The fact that All Buildings in the Netherlands is an Observable notebook means that you can actually change the colors of the buildings shown on the map. If you look under the map and expand the 'bands' section of the notebook you can see the colors that have been assigned for the different years of building construction. If you want to change the colors you can just change the hex color codes for each date.

This means that you can not only create a building age poster for any location in the Netherlands you can also choose the colors of your customized building age map poster.
