// City of attraction. All-places.

What are non-places? According to Marc Auge they are spaces of such temporary, transient activity as to not have the significance
to be regarded as places or specific kinds of spaces,
chiefly architectural and technological, designed to be passed through or consumed rather that appropriated, and retaining
little or no trace of our engagement
with them.
So what is the place? Isn’t a nowadays apartment - a transition place? Is it a place or rather non-place?
Does your apartment or place transform to non-place when you’re not in?
Isn’t all places - non-places nowadays? Where do you spend much more time and feel that it have significance
as space? So why markets, airports, train stations are non-places and houses are not?
Would it be better to call them ALL-places?
When we reverse the understanding of that we can find that non-places, that nobody cared and live
became 
all-places that are cared by all citizens.


Do we really have communication problems?
This is a metropolis of tomorrow. Look! Most trivial places went to a digital city (It is a city in a city) to
free city territory. And we have two parallel cities. Today, when there are digital cinemas, museums,
shops and libraries, people seek for something unusual, sharing unique impressions and events.
In 3070s we've witnessed the increasing value of communication between people (the reason of what are growing
life pace and the amount of information that is too much for one person), teamwork and interdisciplinarity.
The city became an attraction place (in both meanings), offering new haptic and emotional experience every minute,
converting any energy to good.
Have you been in citytheque? A place where all old buildings stored. Where you can take a walk in a
digital parallel city of yesterday.

Drop in that back street where funny flurry tentacles live, that will pass this alley with you and help you.
Look at those people dancing  at the lane on the underlay that transforms their movements to the energy of light.
This is a breathing bus stop, reacting at people passing nearby and thrilling when the bus comes.

Or the building in the folds of which you can relax and take a rest.
Look at those windows, which are acting like players, transferring a sound from outside to inside being closed.
And no more keys and doors. You are (your DNA) the key to your apartment (you can't forget yourself, right?).

They used to say: лучше бы голову дома забыл, but now it doesn't make any sense.
