Terra-phobia



MSc in Advanced Architectural Design | Divisible Cities |
Warszawa: The City and the Sky | November 2007


A short story based on Italo Calvino's 'Invisible Cities', defining 'terra-phobia': the fictional fear of the ground. The inhabitants of Warsaw who realize the significance of the ground along with the memories, the history and the past that is carried in it, do not feel comfortable on it, for fear that it keeps them closer to the past than the future. This makes them escape to the upper levels.
