There’s something reminiscent of an alien landscape in the towering silver whorls of architect Frank Gehry’s Experience Music Project in Seattle. And, really, who doesn’t see spaceships when looking at I.M. Pei’s Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland?
What could have inspired such famous architects to build structures that look like they belong in a Darren Aronofsky flick? According to architecture futurist Geoff Manaugh, creator of Bldgblog, there’s a not-so-hidden influence on contemporary architects that’s widely acknowledged but rarely discussed: the speculative architectures in fantasy and science fiction movies.
That’s why Manaugh organized an event at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, where conceptual designers who make fantasy cities for movies like Star Wars, The Matrix and Minority Report addressed architecture and design students who will be making the real-life cities of tomorrow.
amazing
They’re beautiful! The second one looks like a geo front (cfr Neon Genesis Evangelion)
wow! very interesting! i was kinda in too this type of designing too, but my teachers and contemporaries says that its seemingly impossible.. ^_^ but truly this is wonderful…
Zullen mijn kleinkinderen dit al mogen bewonderen?
Wished I could have been at that event….but alas…..the eastern seaboard has kept me at bay….
all that is lost on the ‘net.Which raises the obvious question of why I’m bothering to comment. But like I said earlier, I like irony!
bravo!
