Law Town
A small city that draws the world's legal systems as buildings.
What It Is
A prototype that draws the world's legal systems as a city. Every building is one area of one country's law, and every floor is one legal concept.
Why We Are Researching It
A list of countries and statutes is hard to take in at once. We are testing whether a spatial map makes it easier to see how legal systems group, differ and connect.
How It Works
- Districts group countries by legal family: common law, civil law, civil and Islamic law, and mixed systems. A central square gathers the ideas shared across traditions.
- Search jumps to a country or a legal concept, and a time slider replays the years.
- The Model Museum stands inside the city, and bridges link concepts across borders.
