Suburbs becomes progressively central; spaces are demolished and rebuilt. While the historic cities are located around the ruins of ancient civilizations, modern cities seem to converge towards homogeneous collections of anonymous buildings and interiors, offering visitors and citizens a globalized place without diversity – said the note describing the photo book ” Cityscapes – the Dream of Modernity “- the empty space between the buildings – in this aseptic reality, is this annoying? In the streets, under flyovers and wherever there is available space, the true fabric of the city manifests itself and creates a necessary diversity. These spaces are a reminder of how attempts to rationalize the wonderful complexity of human life are destined inexorably to failure. These places add incredible energy to the city and ithey are what really defines the individual character of a modern city. Here you can meet the beauty of unexpected: almost an exotic experience, in the globalized modern metropolis. ” (Red)
