The coexistence of slum and skyscrapers, the rising of luxury condo and lack of public infrastructure push the conflicts to the climax. The project creates two wonders - the human life on the sky, and the city refracts beyond the life. 

There are three walls, one for luxury condo, one for social housing, the third one for public use. The architecture creates a frame and order, without emphasizing the how we merge two groups.
