Three images that I like


My Fall of Rome


This rough model was an ambitious attempt to recreate the city of Rome during 476 AD, right when it was sacked by the Germanic tribes. Although the structures are formed using small foam pieces, which cannot capture the features of Roman architecture, the topography really helps generate the sense of the scale of the height of the Roman Empire.

I am putting this image up because I really like its unique sense of reality. Its pattern looks as if it is a drawer that can be pulled out and pushed in. This building also gives out a strong cyberpunk vibe, which is a style I admire. The building itself presents a progressive image and fills me with an idealistic vision of scientific integration with architecture.

Similarly, I like this picture due to its cyberpunk vibe. It resonates with the dystopian society that the city is notorious for, reflecting the city's identity. It is beautiful to me in a few ways. Aside from the hopefulness from the symbolic light that penetrates the darkness, it also shows the potential for urban renewal, which I see as a method to re-establish a city's identity.
