01. MANIFESTO

The final project of my undergrad in architecture was quite different from what I expected. We had to imagine a not so distant future based on actual problems. Setting my own universe gave me the opportunity to imagine a utopian city. I took inspiration from many sci-fi movies like Dune, Star-Wars, Ready Player One, etc. This project was a way to express my way of thinking at the moment, my aspirations regarding architecture and what I think a city, a home should be.

For me, my thesis was not only about an architectural project but also about telling a story from the point of view of person who actually lives in this city. So, the project for me was a visual journal, a story that made the city feel more personal. I wanted people to understand the space I was drawing and live it in their minds, just like a book.

My visual journal had of course to not be only explained with word but with a mix of visual tools. I took my personal style of drawing and painting and mixed it with architectural graphic representation, I think the balance between two different types of drawing made my project so personal and creative.
