High Places

Opening context:
Four-Story Limit, Small Public Squares, Holy Ground, Community of 7000

Conflict

The instinct to climb up to some high place, from which you can look down and survey your world, seems to be a fundamental human instinct.

Resolution

Build occasional high places as landmarks throughout the city. They can be a natural part of the topography, or towers, or part of the roofs of the highest local building — but, in any case, they should include a physical climb.

Closing context:
Small Public Squares, Stair Seats, Zen View, Open Stairs
