‘Now I shall tell of the city of Zenobia, which is wonderful in this fasion: though set on dry terrain it stands on high pilings, and the houses are of bamboo and zinc, with many platforms, balconies placed on stilts at various heights, crossing one another, linked by ladders and hanging sidewalks,surmounted by cone-roofed belvederes, barrels storing water, weather vanes, jutting pulleys,and fish poles and cranes. ’ Thin Cities 2 Invisible Cities Italo Calvino
