#2 Where it all begins (part I) Arts, movies that use stroytelling to illustrate futurist aesthetic
As a former art student, one of my favorite painting style is surrealism. I have always enjoy the bizarreness and futureist element. Even though this style seems hard to match modern landscape architecture, but the way it illustrates the narrative and a unique aesthetic has influence me in my own drawing style and how I approach the story within my design. The Persistence of Memory Salvador Dalí Oil painting
I like getting ideas from different media. Personally I am very found of Si-Fi films, they allow me to imagine the world creatively. These films also put a lot of work on the landscape to render a certain atmosphere and e m o t i o n . Fo r m e, i t n o t only broadens the way of creating new lanscape, but also introducing a new perspective or a new thinking.
Annihilation Alex Garland Film
For example in the movie Annihilation, there's a scene that a human turned into h u ma n - s h a p e d t re e a n d merge with the new species. The image itself is already powerful and provocative.
Mobius's comics First I was so attracted by Mobius's drawing style, the ink work, the colouring style. Then through stories, I find out they're all about adventures, explorations to the unknown. These fantasy comics inspired me to keep my curiosity and imagination.

Other films like Her or The Witness illustrates future cities might look like. Dispite it is already an urban style in some of the modern cities. The aesthetic is still vividly presented. The isolation and loneliness in the metropolis will be more dominant in the near future.
