Of games and imagination

Lets play a game. Can you do this? Can you imagine yourself being in a place that you have never been to? Here are a set of rules for the game. Okay, I will keep it simple. There is just ONE rule:

Rule # 1. It cannot be any combination of any place you have been to in your entire life, seen or heard of, ever and you have to be honest with yourself.

Oh well, Let me toss in another, for just the heck of it.
Rule # 2. Can you imagine such a place painted with a color that you have not seen?

It is alright if you worry about just Rule # 1 and choose to disregard Rule #2, for now.

Is this what architects try to do?
