We walk through a city just like we walk through nature but we are surrounded by an environment that has been molded to accommodate us. We navigate through streets like in a canyon of artificial stone and look up, feeling dwarfed by the walls being built around us. Itโs surprising how little we notice. We live our lives surrounded by a manufactured world, take little interest in how it looks, how it feels.
