From the three images, both cities are introduced and explained to us using different techniques. For example, the colourful parts represent The Garden City which is an ideal society where people live in a perfect socio-politico-legal system. The blue sky associated with hope and peace, and the trees reflect nature and sustainability.In contrast, the black and white photos symbolize past and despair, everything come to a halt and shut itself down forever. A number of textures are used on the building facade to create mood and atmosphere, it also emphasise the overload material they`ve used to build the structure.
One of the main ideas of their work is to show the contrast between utopia and dystopia which is not only relates to the short story, but it also represents, even in today's society the fact that we still taking natural resources from Earth without paying it back. Fossil fuel will be exhausted and coal silos will be emptied, just like what happened to The Metropolis in the short story. The city was shut and closed as soon as the petrol and coal have run out; the huge urban population had dwindled rapidly.
