Architectural Style
The city’s architecture ranges from colonial-era preservation districts, such as Old City, to modernist skyscrapers. A key feature across the city’s older structures is the deliberate use of Perpendicular Incongruity, where load-bearing supports are placed at angles slightly incompatible with Newtonian physics, an architectural secret intended to keep the city perpetually grounded in its past.
