Chosen City

Anastasia
At the end of three days, moving southward, you come upon Anastasia, a city with
concentric canals watering it and kites flying over it. I should now list the wares
that can profitably be brought here: agate, onyx, chrysoprase, and other
varieties of chalcedony; I should praise the flesh of the golden pheasant cooked
here over fires of seasoned cherry wood and sprinkled with much sweet
marjoram; and tell of the women I have seen bathing in the pool of a garden and
who sometimes - it is said - invite the stranger to disrobe with them and chase them
in the water. But with all this, I would not be telling you the citys true essence; for
while the description of Anastasia awakens desires one at a time only to force
you to stifle them, when you are in the heart of Anastasia one morning, your desires
waken all at once and surround you. The city appears to you as a whole where no
desire is lost and of which you are a part, and since it enjoys everything you do not
enjoy, you can do nothing but inhabit this desire and be content. Such is the power,
sometimes called malignant, sometimes benign, that Anastasia, the treacherous
city, possesses; if for eight hours a day you work as a cutter of agate, onyx,
chrysoprase, your labor with gives form to desire takes fro desire its form, and
you believe you are enjoying Anastasia wholly when you are only its slave.

Mission Statement

I have chosen Anastasia for its hidden

charms. The text has enough
information to awaken desire but not
enough to describe it as a whole. This
gives me some freedom into placing
buildings into the walls beneath
concentric canals and map out the
workshops and studios for its slaves.
The fire pit and the bathing pools are
what first sparked my interest. Where
are they within this network of the city?
Is there a focal point within? Is the city
like the Colosseum with its curvature
or is only half of its city covered by its
spokes?
I hope to make several versions of its
architecture before refining it down to
its bones and adding in its alluring
women and the workers ever
struggling to please the city.
