Responding to the Fellowship Question: What's 3,000 feet away? This diagram shows the consideration in three categories: history, nature and future.

​

In the tilted axis, growing height of high-rise buildings are put in tremendous contrast with constant height of humans. What attitude should architects take when they have the powerful technology in hand as tools of construction to achieve the human-scale space in future?

​

In the horizontal and vertical axises, two topics are arranged together: the buried history of the city/humans underneath the ground is a silent but strong existence which influences every new development. In the nature, more animals live on the ground or near-ground habitats, while human beings reached a much higher altitude of space with the innovation of sky-scrapers. How should we establish the re-link of human beings with the nature in our powerful artificial territory?
