question about the value of soil and
question about the value of soil and then how does civilization deal with if
then how does civilization deal with if
then how does civilization deal with if it’s already extinct the first thing
it’s already extinct the first thing
it’s already extinct the first thing that came into my mind is that I
that came into my mind is that I
that came into my mind is that I believed the value of soil will increase
believed the value of soil will increase
believed the value of soil will increase and it’s gonna be so rare and precious
and it’s gonna be so rare and precious
and it’s gonna be so rare and precious could stall actually replace money could
could stall actually replace money could
could stall actually replace money could it be a currency so I began to think
it be a currency so I began to think
it be a currency so I began to think about the economics of soil which
about the economics of soil which
about the economics of soil which probably could gave birth to a city
probably could gave birth to a city
probably could gave birth to a city maybe it’s a city that prosper from

maybe this city could also celebrate and values about the culture of soil so I
values about the culture of soil so I
values about the culture of soil so I call this city the soil city so the
call this city the soil city so the
call this city the soil city so the salsa tea take place in Greenwich
salsa tea take place in Greenwich
salsa tea take place in Greenwich Peninsula London this is where my
Peninsula London this is where my
Peninsula London this is where my context so in order to understand the
context so in order to understand the
context so in order to understand the civilization one must understand
civilization one must understand
civilization one must understand the history and the context of the
the history and the context of the
the history and the context of the landscape so the interesting thing about
landscape so the interesting thing about
landscape so the interesting thing about Greenwich Peninsula is that it used to
Greenwich Peninsula is that it used to
Greenwich Peninsula is that it used to be a marshland and then he became a
be a marshland and then he became a

in an archaeological kind of approach I
in an archaeological kind of approach I began to excavate and dig this structure
began to excavate and dig this structure
began to excavate and dig this structure out from beneath because I believe
out from beneath because I believe
out from beneath because I believe architectures is informed with the
architectures is informed with the
architectures is informed with the existing and the past stories so when I
existing and the past stories so when I
existing and the past stories so when I start excavating Greenwich Peninsula the
start excavating Greenwich Peninsula the
start excavating Greenwich Peninsula the underground tube and the Blackwall
underground tube and the Blackwall
underground tube and the Blackwall tunnel that exists beneath the

landscape so this is how it looks like
landscape so this is how it looks like when Sala city actually takes place in
when Sala city actually takes place in
when Sala city actually takes place in in Greenwich Peninsula so this is how
in Greenwich Peninsula so this is how
in Greenwich Peninsula so this is how the city works behind the city is where
the city works behind the city is where
the city works behind the city is where we have this vast stretch of landscape
we have this vast stretch of landscape
we have this vast stretch of landscape of ingredients these landscape are

ingredients of salt production and then
ingredients of salt production and then towards the tips of the peninsula is
towards the tips of the peninsula is
towards the tips of the peninsula is where the the production takes place
where the the production takes place
where the the production takes place that’s where the stall Bank is the
