Landmarks in pixels

Famous landmarks rebuilt as tiny floating islands: real 3D scenes, drawn as pixel art with outlines and a small palette. Open one to turn it around, switch between day, dusk and night, and read the story of the real place.

How they are made

Each landmark is modelled in Three.js from its real proportions, with the surroundings compressed to fit on one island. The scene is rendered at 360 × 640 pixels, outlines are drawn where the depth jumps, the colours are reduced to a small palette, and the image is scaled up without smoothing, so every frame looks like hand-placed pixel art. The same scenes run live on each page and in our 15-second reels.

Want one on your phone? Every diorama is also a free pixel-art phone wallpaper, by day and by night.
