architects pay a visit to random places by francisco villeda

as a part of the ‘architecture in the age of OMG’ competition for realitycues, danish architect francisco villeda has conceived ‘architects pay a visit to random places’, a series of manipulated images that reflect on fake utopian architectural scenes by combining random places influenced by the philosophies of famous designers and architects from the past. the images feature an interpretation based off hugh ferriss’ visions, where it tries to represent the idea of densifying cities through its historical values and local identities. in a world of constant global homogenization, the need to go back to more rooted ideas and local means might prove to be a new way of counter balancing the state of global crisis. a scene using le corbusiers projects as reference frequently generalizes the principal purposes within specific view of nature as means of establishing visual dialog.
