Does it inspire people to come together? Is it a pleasant surrounding for the vibrant comings and goings of a community? Does it serve the needs of humans or just some ego? Is its primary function to impress and give me some happy moments?
I do believe we need a rethink on why we build what.

the artist always dreams of creating something that makes a difference, that makes a contribution, that gives us something we were missing or hadn’t seen yet. Art, in that respect, is very generous.

Our town will be built for the towners, for their communal life. Our town attempts to restore nature and find a way to coexist with it. In our town health plays a central role. Our town leaves nothing to chance. Instead we compose our town thoughtfully.

‘Uh, a big one,’ Jason said. ‘There are several central points where our town deviates from other towns. Our town has a purpose, a focus, something to aim for.
