Architecture

The project was designed by the local Espazio architectural Group led by Arq. Jorge Gutierrez in association with Estrategias Urbanas consulting represented by Arq. Hector Osuna Jaime. New City was designed with the idea of creating a setting of comfort for the surrounding San Diego-Tijuana populace. It was also designed to appeal to most people and features a modern and unique look.[1]

Design
New City in 2015

The buildings are surrounded by a tall concrete wall and maintain gated access. The towers facade material consists of concrete and the buildings have a curtain wall facade style.[2] The style of building is postmodern and thus contemporary.[2]

gollark: It's going to have a fun feature where if it detects that you're running it *while* the uninstaller is open, it will subtly mess up your answers.
gollark: After realizing I had absolutely no idea how the "general number field sieve" and such worked, I just decided to implement Pollard's ρ one, but it requires gcd which Lua doesn't have, so I'm looking up the Euclidean algorithm.
gollark: So I wanted to do it in a convoluted way, so I looked at a bunch of prime factorization algorithms.
