effort to form a smarter city, natural landscape should not be a backdrop on which the urban development will be placed, but a dynamic field of study, management and recovery of the urban fabric. On this basis the research presented in this paper is a first conceptual approach to a mechanism that may monitor the transformation of natural space fed with data obtained from its analysis, in order to compose them and redefine the urban space. Specifically, this mechanism uses a method for approaching three-dimensional models from n-dimensional hypercubes that undergoes on the urban field through polar zonohedra. This method will help the dynamic tool to collect data from urban and to separate them into the tanks, and then we use hypercubes to translate or better to connect the separate three dimensional exports in n-dimensional export that is an appropriate form for urban metabolism. The paper then goes on to present certain sections of the solids in question and the creation of tessellations on the plane in order to contribute to urban metabolism. This mechanism for the design of the hybrid field and data management of the hybrid field between the natural and the urban fabric is in a conceptual stage; the aim however is the future development of systems that support its practical operation. Such systems do not involve new hardware, but are mainly platforms coupling already existing software in order to gather real-time data, encode and control the homeostasis or the feedback. In this direction new methods of integrating spatial and related databases can be developed. Ball, W.W.R., Coxeter, H.S.M., 1947.
