About
Future Studies is a process of iconographic and structural relationships across time and space. This series of images begins as an ironic adaptation of archaeological anastylosis concept; the technique of reconstruction of a monument in ruins thanks to the methodical study of the adjustment of various components of its architecture.
Future Studies proposes shifting and reuse of singular buildings -architecture as History- through its post-apocalyptic fictionalization as shelters or as new hybrid structures installed in spacecrafts -subculture as History-.
The images are the result of a combination of various 3D models, -a kind of virtual collage- using drawing and sculpture as mediums. The resulting prototypes creates a fable -a grotesque fiction-where the iconographic, narrative and structural issues offers new possibilities of architectural reading and intervention. I arise these images as proposals from the absurd to the historical emancipation of Architectural Heritage, fusing visible architecture and non-existent, although culturally active.
