| #080 Mobius Strip Part 1 "It might not be a real Mobius Strip, but it'll do," are the words architect Denise Ghali is said to have made upon seeing the completed strip from the air for the first time. Completed only five year ago in 263, the figure of eight strip of raised land off the coast was one of the more controversial projects begun by the MDC for the Mobius Area regeneration project, but its sheltered marine lake and beautiful parks have won over most critics. |

In comparison to Polygon Park, Magine Park had traditionally been lightly maintained to preserve a "wilder" feel, but in recent years development has increased.

| #132 Restructure Art Gallery 'How do I get out?' is the phrase heard most often in the Restructure Art Gallery - not because visitors dislike it, but because the city's newest gallery can reconfigure its walls, floors and external appearance in real time to accommodate and rotate its vast collections. Manifold Concert Hall Founded in 241, the Manifold Concert Hall is the city's most prestigious location for musical performances of all kinds. After initial complaints, the concert hall's acoustics were reworked to provide a clearer experience. |
