“The Cityproject” presents cities that are melting down; a “modernist” architecture made of thawing sugar. Contrary to the utopian claims to be constant and eternal, these staged cities bring the image of destruction and disintegration. The rationalism of urban planning stumbles in mud and paddles, and the dilapidating geometry of white cubes makes even the Vitruvian principle of durability fail. Before our very eyes, models of imaginary cities transform into an abandoned ruins of never-completed projects.
