I remember you showing them to me. The option 1 looks like a field, with an electricity pylon, and perhaps a flag to the right. Option 2 is a megalopolis, the lines on top could refer to air structures. So country/city. But why the electricity pylon? Because option 1 is not just a Walden-like Rousseau-like 70s-like going back to Nature, it’s about integrating modernism, accepting the need of an ugly pylon, perhaps integrating it aesthetically as well – because the electric lines _could_ line up with the fields lines, _could_ flow in harmony at some point. Option 2 has electricity already integrated so no need for a pylon. Buildings recreate farmers lines, as windows and glass walls line up like corn holes and barley seeds. Each window, each desk contains the worker-grain that produces the wheat for the hungry. Above us are lines we cannot reach, under us are the lines we made. We can integrate man in Nature, or man can recreate Nature. We can accept and absorb men inventions, or surround oneself with them and hope to not lose ourselves. Not past/future, but showing self-control, acceptance, temperance, versus exuberance, lost of sight, religion.
