Symbole de promiscuité et de désirs solitaires, la ville est une promesse pour tous ceux qui s'y promènent. Ses rues alambiquées, ses quartiers anonymes et ses bruits incessants sont autant de paysages qui attirent l'innocent.

Composition, Non-CompositionArchitecture and Theory in the Nineteenth Centuries
In architecture, composition refers to the conception of a building according to principles of regularity and hierarchy, or according to the principles of obtaining equilibrium.
