I think the creator of the project found some failures in the 45° view of Google Maps and then he/she went to these locations and took a photograph. Then he/she edited these photos so that they looked like the Google Maps failures are real.
Anyway, it looks interesting.

It's highlighting some of the inaccuracies of google maps 45 degree angle views by showing how these buildings would look in real life if viewed from street level.

I assume he's taking stitching artifacts from Google Maps and making mockups of what they might look like from the ground. It's a bit hard to see that at first because Street View exists. Note that the vantage points from the ground are where pedestrians might plausibly go.

That's it exactly. She's taken stuff from her photo portfolio and warped it to match the Maps aerial photography. It's brilliant! But it probably has more impact for me since it's where I'm living and I've seen many of these buildings quite recently.

#9If you're wondering how Google generates these Street View images from the individual photographs and approximate camera position/orientation information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_adjustment http://lear.inrialpes.fr/pubs/2000/TMHF00/Triggs-va99.pdf
