Evolo/via
În fiecare an, PlanetaNoastra și toate site-urile de arhitectură analizează intrările în concursul Evolo, căutând cele mai imaginative lucrări ale tinerilor arhitecți cu timp liber la dispoziție. Uneori, trebuie doar să dai din cap și să te minunezi de creativitate și abilitățile de desen.

Things To Come/Screen capture
I couldn’t write this post without noting the wonderful design for an underground city in Alexander Korda’s wonderful 1936 film Things To Come. A giant hologram of Raymond Massey is about to fill the place.
Back at EcoImagination, Emily Gertz notes that it the popularity of the scheme took the architect by surprise:
It surprised me too, given the competition. Which do you like best?
