«Any assignment should come from an idea, and my idea in this case would be that we need something in-between map and vista, or between plan and section. My first guess was, staring at the Lekki Peninsula map, what we really need is something developing in some sort of diagonal sense. This sounds silly. It is silly – but anyhow. In Lagos, there seems to be a certain lack of verticality – I do not mean towers such as in the business districts but a feeling, an awe of height. Of heaven. My assignment would be to lay Patrick Geddes´s Valley Section horizontally on the map of the Lekki peninsula – or horizontally over Lagos as whole, but more important, put it over the Peninsula, of course in the transversal direction – in the peninsula´s cross-section direction and look what happens. Let happen what then happens.» Joost Meuwissen, 2011
