The city grows spontaneously. Disordered. Up and down, wherever there is space. Every style is mixed together. There is no development plan for the cities in Brazil, so they become a huge architectonic collage. It is after this perception of the city that this work was created. As a play, collages were made from disconnected pieces of houses and buildings in order to create other ones. These new buildings are strange but, even though, they seem plausible, maybe because is like that our perception works.
