This 1:500 scale model of a city was designed and created specially for use as a prop in the show 'In the forest of starlight and shrapnel' by the Richard Burton company in 2023. It portrays an architectural model of a city from within the show, drawing on historical influences in its design from the model of Germania, the unrealised city plan by the Third Reich architect, Albert Speer.
