A drawing that has two inspirations: the first is a floor plan of a 17th Century Hakka walled village in Southern China - a communal living structure that is designed to be easily defensible; the second inspiration is the modernist architect Le Corbusier's Modulor system for universal harmonious proportions for urban design.
