Architecture in Comic books

The Green Studio Vol 01
Academic research developed at DIA Winter Semester 2015 – 2016
Directed by Karim Soliman

The main focus of this studio is to realize the utopias and distopias from our favorite Sci-fi novels or our favorite super hero comic books! In other words we will design the build environment that replaces the green Chroma in the post-production of the movies.

Several of these novels and comic books have been realized to great moving pictures where all the magic happens in the post-production!On the other hand, we as architects should use the latest techniques, tools and methods we have to take part, together with scientist, in shaping the future cities in sci-fi movies.

Have you ever took a deep look in these movies, to read between the line how they render us the future of our cities, Gotham city in Batman series, New york city in The Fifth Element,mega city in The Matrix trilogy, Pandora planet in Avatar, Galactic city in Star Warsor London in Sherlock Holmes series; and ask yourself why and how they look the way you see them in the movies!

Our focus this semester is to adopt a sci-fi novel or a super hero from the comics,analyze the utopia or distopia in the novel and use it as a guideline for our vision of build environment.
