Among the branches and vegetation of an island in the heart of Stadswandelpark in Eindhoven, nature, architecture, light and music merge into a primitive skyline presaging a utopian city. We talk about the creative evolution of point, line, plane, volume, timespace, as a possibility to live in the utopian city.

Our proposal is due to instinct. This goes beyond the visual and has a lot of reflection, hence the manifestation of the installation is based on the theme of nature and architecture.

 The idea of a philosophical process. Has much foundation design based on a theoretical principle. Human beings have as communication tools in visual terms point, line, surface, volume, and volume in time. The other "spiritual" factors are understanding, interpretation, and love, and non-material elements, not visual.

The sounds and music that was specially composed by (David Albanes and Emil Lewandowski) play a key role; the piece is long and consists of four cycles of eight minutes each to the concept of installation: nature, animals, industry and humanity. There are many ways to interpret them and we work with sound elements such as water, wind, birds, trains, machinery. The whole passage from nature to architecture. But the question is who inhabit the why of things. Here we come to humanity. The most natural part, the link between architecture and nature is humanity. If not, no sense. What can unify both fronts it is the human being.
