BRIEF

In Rome, city centers spiral out from the water fountain in the piazza and then gradually make their way into the private alleys of one's villa. New York City built on a grid is more linear and divided by uptown, midtown and downtown. But cities, both west and east also take into consideration historical, cultural points as well.

• social- exchange in physical space
