The project flattens space and time to create a continuum where all these different architectures are in dialogue with each other. The landscape becomes diasporic as these foreign forms emerge floating atop the water in the canal. It also harks back to the idea of World Fairs, in which different countries were invited to showcase their architecture and show off the cultural and industrial advancement. Of course, historically (and presently in Biennials and expos) African countries were excluded from these events as they were deemed primitive.
The game is simply a contemplative experience.
