(…) So, my dear Kahn, if you go and visit this city, you won’t find a traditional town that can be drawn on a map. The city changes but you don’t feel lost. The city let you discover itself, it talks to you. There will be a clear relationship between its shapes and you’re thought. So, if you can read you head, you can read the city. The whole city is in your mind. A sensitive city, isn’t it? If you will be in a square, it will be the same point of the ground were generations would have been before you, but in the morning and in the evening you won’t find the same scenario. Maybe a square for the market in the morning and a track for skating in the evening. So always new? Not exactly. It has already be, some day in the past, a market and maybe it will be it again in the future, when necessary. So your memory will be the same of a child of the next century but maybe also different from a man of your time.”
