Humans have always attempted to apply mathematical logic to quantify the structure of material and immaterial substance with units of measurement. The desire to transpose limits within the infinite world and at the same time, seek limitless within these defined limitations still remains ambiguous.

Since ancient times, cities have been developed to improve the quality of lives. In modern phenomenon, the lives of humanity have been compromised by the development of cities as it continues to destroy the natural environment. Building of cities might be one of man’s greatest achievements; ironically, this achievement is detrimental to many co-existing in the world.
