Croc-gu-phant by Sara Ball is a children's flip-book book that allows one to forge utterly strange creatures out of limbs of existing animals; a crocodile head attached to a jaguar's body and elephant feet virtually constitute a new species. Ideal City expands this concept to urban features. It creates a framework of discrete public spaces in one image. The Project displays constructions, environments and features located in cities worldwide classified into three categories that are essential for modern living: service, traffic, recreation. Using a computer interface the user creates his favourite city by combining public spaces of his choice. [Screenshot]
