Trained as an architect, the artist Will Insley worked on a mythical city called ONECITY. Since the 1960s he has created wall objects, models, photomontages and drawings of this labyrinthian urban layout. The city projected between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River is a habitat for 400 million people and extends in different types of buildings above ground and underground over an area of more than 160’000 miles square. The urban planning order of ONECITY, its building types and functions as well as the structures and rules of living together has been described in detail by Will Insley in his writings.
