In the heart of the modern metropolis, "ghosts" are not spirits of the dead, but the physical manifestations of an architect’s ego, broken logic, and the suppressed memories of materials. Edgar, an arrogant yet brilliant architect who views buildings as sacred entities, and Schale, a young man of porcelain limbs and innocent cruelty, traverse these "Phantom Architectures." Their mission: to dissect the "appropriateness of purpose" (Gōmokutekisei) in design. "Are you solving someone else's problem in a way only you can, at a higher dimension of beauty and rationality?" Welcome to a gothic, architectural anatomy of the world’s most iconic structures.
