For this blog post, I decided upon the neo-futurist movement, and decided to use the famous Zaha Hadid as my influence. One of her designs, the Wangjing SOHO, designed for SOHO China, is a neo-futurist complex comprised of three curvilinear asymmetrical skyscrapers. I wanted to create a cityscape scene with similar architecture, from a low angle at a certain time of day. I wanted there to be organic shapes, as well as reflective surfaces, so as to capture the sun's reflections. Der Spiegel describes Hadid’s designs as ‘resembling curved sails that appear to swim across the surface of the earth’, and to this end, I wanted to create a scene that reflected this image.
