patterns of civilisation: the altered landscape of osaka bay

While researching the pacific rim coastline (using google earth), I came upon the images of Osaka Bay, Japan and found the language and geometry of this human engineered coastline fascinating. This modification of a once naturally contoured coastline is an awesome display of necessity in design.
