Looking at Cyberpunk from an Architecture and Urban Planning POV #cyberpunk #scifisunday
In this fascinating video essay, Canadian architect Dami Lee takes a look at the architectural design and urban planning evident in cyberpunk sci-fi and relates it to the urban realities of today and our uncertainties about the future.
There are some fascinating insights here I’ve never thought of, like the dearth of children in almost all cyberpunk lit, and how the Brutalist architecture of the Mayan-inspired corporate pyramids in Blade Runner are also reflected in the apartment designs in both the original film and Blade Runner 2049 (symbolically showing the longh reach of the megacorps).
