An elderly retired Modernist Architect called Clive, In his attic Clive builds a model of a modernist Utopian City . He builds the model from designs and drawings stored on his newly purchased ‘I Pad’. Modern technology lets him down, the ‘I Pad’ crashes; with anger and frustration the traditionally trained Clive stamps on the modern device. The I ‘Pad’ malfunctions creating a vortex of energy, sucking Clive into the ‘I Pad’s’ hard drive, during which he looses his shoe. Inside the ‘I Pad’ Clive finds himself inside the modernist city he has designed called. In this parallel universe a community lives lead by architect Modernist Marsella. Modernist Marcella, a lady in her 70ʼs wears a classic suit, and a hat like a sculpture.
