The problem of modern people is the pressure on their identity.

The problem of modern cities is the uncontrolled growth of inhuman commercial architecture and the creation of megacities that cause the death of smaller cities.

All these problems can be seen as the image of a square. As Tatlin said, "A square is death." A modern city is like a massive square that consumes all life around it, destroys identities, and leads to human misery.

The only way out of this is for the square to naturally self-destruct.

A healthy person is one who accepts their identity and controls their own life. They do not believe in fate.

A healthy city is a place where architects and citizens work together to decide how the city should develop.

This project is the beginning of a movement, the beginning of a new life. It is a manifesto about the need for a new perspective on the city.
