Self-Iterating of Chongqing
A traditional neighbourhood is demolished to make way for bustling shopping districts. People are digging tunnels and building bridges to build railways, leaving behind the mountains and rivers that once defined the city's character. It is a city of tradition, but it is also a city looking to the future. In choosing to develop, human beings leave something behind and gain something new.
Through these transitions, I explore the complexities of urban development, the tension between progress and preservation, and the profound impact of human choices in shaping cities and the environment.
