A proposal space to live with art.

Geometric straight lines and curves—forms said to be nonexistent in the natural world—create a sense of rhythm and harmony within the urban landscape. The interplay of light and shadow shifts with the time of day, evoking a variety of captivating expressions and functional qualities; viewed as a whole, the cityscape seems almost to be playing a melody. Though sometimes dismissed as a "concrete jungle," a closer look reveals a beauty born of stripped-down simplicity. Photography by Hidetoshi Shinohara
