House as a residence place, park green space as a leisure function, tower or skyscraper as a symbol of the city and symbol of the economy revives.... These natural landscapes were made and planned by human, seemed to appear so normal and for granted. They are a collection of the various human desires, the city is also a paradise to embody the dream of human beings at the same time.

Relationship of urban and human, all imagination for urban life is like human looking at self in the mirror, constantly pursuing the patterns of our longing. In order to satisfy the desire of people of this era, the city continues to transform. Moreover, it is of a pattern that is seen only by "people who are there at the moment." The transformation is slow in the city but in a reliable change process, unique landscapes of the city are also emerging repeatedly.

I like to walk in the city late at night, enjoying the feeling that apart from the group of people for a while and being in the huge urban forest. In the mix of nature and artifacts, it's quiet and comfortable freeing from worldly cares, while at the same time some odd feeling occurs sometimes. These artifacts and human made landscapes are like "foreign objects" standing in the space. The huge tower and chimney toward the sky, dim light flourishing from the deep forest, the statue standing in the corner of the city, all have been sending mystery messages to me, which made me wanting to explore and discover the sources of these messages.

Seeing these human made landscapes, what kind of dream would people have?
