FUTURE
By Leonid Alekseev
GRADUATION PROJECT
My graduation project is based on book "Future" by Dmitry Glukhovsky. It is quite dark dystopian story which takes place in Europe around 2300 year. My focus was to come up with concepts for the city insipired by book.
Unlike the existing beautiful Barcelona nowadays- one of the most beautifull cities of the world, in «Future» this city has changed dramatically.
Huge towers are built on top of Old Barcelona and massive platform is covering small old buildings.
576 giant towers where millions of people live form the new city.
This new city is built to be able to control people inside of it and keep them isolated from the rest of Europe.
It is surrounded by wall, which doesn't allow people go outside.
It is a giant refugee camp.
My goal is to imagine how the city designed in specific weird initial conditions would look like.

OLD BARCELONA IS UNDER THE PLATFORM
DOME
In the center of the city huge dome is placed. It is covering Sagrada Familia- biggest cathedral of Barcelona. It’s a starting point from which all the towers were built.
CITY LAYOUT
WALL
Whole city is surrounded by wall, there is only one gate through which you can enter the city.
PLATFORM
is made of concrete blocks which are put on horisontal lags.
TECHNOLOGY
