Bipolar City
ACT I :
In the city there was a building with bipolar disorder. This building was really many buildings, with many sizes and shapes. The appearance of this building and its many personalities were an unpredictable amalgamation of momentary thoughts on architecture.
The citizens of the city did not understand the bipolar building, and therefore avoided it. The story the citizens told about the bipolar building was ever changing and adapting to each generation.
This story was one in which the architect was unknown according to some, and to others the architect must have been a woman. The identity or gender of the architect was irrelevant, but their creation had become a living entity in the city. An entity with radical scalar elements, that of which critics were baffled. How could one structure appear as tiny as a doorway and simultaneously as a fortress of skyscrapers?
For years the city proposed to demolish the bipolar building.
