"It took me years to realize that Inca and pre-Columbian architecture is directly related to the structure of the corn kernels. In a western model of thought, one might judge the shapes as irregular, but in a universal thought, everything is a correlation between the cosmos, science, art and humanity. Fractal nature.
As you can see, the organic growth forms are represented in a logarithmic way, and the fact that these pentagonal, hexagonal and heptagonal blocks coincide with the corn forms." - Juan Casco
Note: The lack of symmetry in the walls helps dissipate the energy of the earthquakes. They were incredible engineers. Japanese researchers studied Machu Picchu after the Kobe earthquake and realized that these Inca structures had not been damaged by an earthquake.

They've adapted it to a South African context, which is cool - it's nice to see The Void™ represented with red sand rather than grey rocks
re: wugu
I have updated my romanisation today, but unfortunately there's one letter of it that I can't figure out how to do on my phone:
ı̣
That is a dotless i with an underdot, and it represents the vowel [i] with a low tone.
