Tale VIII: Back Of House

It is a huge building, although it looks like a few floors from the ground, there are layers and layers of space beneath it. Above ground, it is a cheerful, relaxing space: people enjoy food and games in it. Below the ground are all the facilities and productive aspects of people’s lives that are designed to support the upper levels. Layer after layer, each lower layer exists for the activities of the upper layer, and there is an unbridgeable barrier between the layers.

A relationship between production and living is depicted here. Whatever the system, there is a pyramid-like structure. Production hides beneath living and supports living’s existence. There is again a stronger contrast between them. We want to allude to the relationship between the nomad and the citizen, and whether the nomad’s existence or value is really only for the other activities of the citizen. What is the experience of the people, or rather of the other people, in order for the system in the city to function in a balanced way?
