An ideal city fosters the development of civilization – the cultivation of the soul.

An ideal city does not start from scratch nor expire. It contains a depth of history, accumulation of wisdom and sensibly imagined possibilities. It embraces and encourages diversity. An ideal city thus exists only in the mind. It is consisted of the vanished, the existing and the envisaged.

We take away the boundary of time to imagine and visualize this ideal city with large realistic photomontages. It is a display of the jewels of urban planning and design throughout the history. We hope these montages enable us to contemplate on the natural gifts and true value of the city, and to learn from the past and inspire what we could have in the future.
