You see the Seine with its typical _bateau mouche_. The river goes through the city that becomes L.A. then we see the skyscrapers against the backdrop.
The escalator brings us into a cloud-shaped structure. This structure contains numerous public facilities for the surrounding community. It will become a concentration-point for activities: a second civic center.

Outside of the city, a structure capitalizes on the allegiance to self, while acting as a refuge for those wanting to further connect with the growing virtual world. A spectator stadium overlooking the Megalopolis? A pied-à-terre? A sanctuary to build your own reality? The ability to both create a world and live within it may lie in the not-so-distant future.
Looking forward, this realm sits between the blurred lines of reality and the virtual world. Borderless within this dominion, Los Angeles, a metropolis whose legacy and foundation rests upon its highways, and Paris—‘une ville de grands boulevards’ as the city is affectionately known—combine the old guard and the new as the future of travel and transportation evolves. The advancement of technology dictates, both in the present and near future, the discount and concession of our physical essence. Limitless is one’s ability to build a reality in the virtual domain.
