Charlie Koolhaas presented her installation City Lust at the Lodz Design Festival in 2014, portraying five global cities: Dubai, Guangzhou, Lagos, Houston, and London. The installation took the form of one large-scale folded out cardboard book of 25 meters long.

With buildings and pavements printed to scale it becomes like a street that the viewer can walk through, to travel from suburb to city center, through markets, streets, homes, churches, restaurants, art galleries, offices, brothels and night-clubs.
