The city as imagined and conceived by Kingelez reflects a modernist and progressive vision. His transfigurations, not far from his traditional roots (as portrayed by Moké), respond to the concerns of demographic and spatial expansion.

His city presents a dual reflection; the construction of an aesthetic consciousness and its conceptual realization.
