Cities & Desire . 5

In this chapter, Zobeide is a city where people had designed it to be a trap. As Marco polo said, cites are like dream that are made up of desires. The reason why the city has this “trapped” journey inside was because men of that time dream of an unknown woman who was running around the night and they desire to catch her and find her. However they will always lose her in the end, thus they arranged spaces and wall that will trap her eventually. This story of how Zobeide the city was made, tells me that people first visualise what they want to have in the city because arranging walls will affect the space quality and function. The method of arranging spaces and walls to come out with this “trapped” space, can be used in a gallery. As, if the artist who wants his audience to be wondering around or appreciating his work more can use this method as audience will not be able to leave the gallery so soon.
