# Circuit Board Cityscapes The Ali Difaez Seattle Skyline Was Created Using Old Computer Parts By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-06-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ali-difaez-seattle-skyline References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2012/06/28/seattle-skyline-ram-craigslist-ad/) & [seattle.craigslist.org](http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/sys/3043303655.html) If you have ever wanted to own a little piece of real estate on America's West Coast but don't quite have the income to afford it, you can still live out that dream if you purchase the Ali Difaez Seattle Skyline. That is, if you don't mind that your purchase is compiled from [old computer parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steam-deck-motherboard-case) and is a miniature model of the city. The architect involved with crafting the model-sized replica of Seattle up-cycled [old circuit boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddbrand-circuit-board) from outdated computers to reconstruct some of the [major monuments in the city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gordon-walker-house). Old wires and machine parts were glued together to create the to-scale version of the urban center -- complete with the iconic Space Needle that stands just outside of the major metropolis. The creation is available to Craigslist viewers for the cost of $99. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycling:** Opportunity for businesses to repurpose old materials for creative and unique products. - **Miniature Models:** Growing market for scaled-down replicas of famous landmarks and cities made from unconventional materials. - **Eco-friendly Design:** Increasing demand for environmentally friendly products made from recycled materials. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can create unique and sustainable artworks using upcycled materials. - **Tourism:** Opportunity to attract tourists with miniature models of landmarks and cities made from unconventional materials. - **E-commerce:** Online platforms can cater to the demand for eco-friendly products by offering upcycled items made from recycled materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Puzzle Block Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fan-build.md) - [Printed Circuit Sconces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-circuit.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md) - [Retro Arcade Circuit Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-1.md) - [Buildable 3D Superhero Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotham-city-skyline-set.md) - [Glow‑In‑Dark Tech Skins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circuit-board-device.md) - [Retro Software DIY Handhelds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-windows-98.md) - [Interactive E-Waste Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cash-for-trash.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Legos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyns-architectural-history.md)
