The story behind

Drive out nature and it will gallop back, overrunning this design by Octave Marsal and Theo de Gueltzl and providing the setting for the city that stretches into the distance. Is it Los Angeles, Hong Kong, or a utopian city of the future? Whichever it is, the artists’ detailed lines create a landscape that blends into a trompe-l’oeil. And concealed within the maze of the streets and the all-engulfing vegetation, an array of wildlife keeps a discreet watch over the city.
