>>5927588>dezeen.com and concept architecture sitesI like collecting inspiration from architecture concepts such as BLDGBLOG or dezeen, I wonder if anyone mentioned to Mohammed bin Salman that if you like cyberpunk futurism you can just download pictures from artstation or play that Mirror's Edge videogame no need to actually excavate kilometres of desert sand. Maybe some architect played that videogame "Spec Ops: The Line" and decided, hey you know what would be a good name for a futuristic skyscraper city in the desert, that is not ruined or war-torn or phosphorous incendiary bombed or anything, how about "The Line" so here is the mirror skyscraper wall concept renders planned for Neom in Saudia Arabia, these pictures look very cool and you can find a lot more concepts on dezeen, I think they did some new renders or art photobashing Jan 2024 (I really like the one of the "inward facing" skyscraper, it is like a sort of polygon grid cavern, there is also a vertical forest and another one that resembles a sort of hexagonal serpentine lattice clasping the mountainous side of a cliff)
lol, the second picture of The Line that blue sky mirror wall superstructure reminds me of the Alastair Reynolds story Zima Blue which nflx also adapted as an animated short film version for Love Death + Robots, about a cyborg artist obsessed with planetary scale superstructure engineering blue rectangles
inward facing skyscraper, built around a hollow void
