Cities build geometric or chaotic networks : houses, tower blocks and huts. The same organic structures resemble models in nature on a different scale. The variations in scale sometimes operate semantic collisions, where social housing in Moscow or Bejing, carefully planned estates in the suburbs of America, skyscrapers in Hong Kong, as well as the outskirts of São Paulo, are meticulously embroidered on starched tablecloths spread out for smart dinners in town.
