The post AI-Powered Architectural Series Imagines Buildings of the Future appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>There are many AI-powered architectural series on the internet these days. But the one that captured our attention the most is Synthetic Architecture. According to its creators, the goal of the series is to explore new territories “for architectural theory and practice” through the use of the AI program Midjourney.
The works in this series cover all sorts of different constructions, ranging from homes and apartment buildings to malls and stadiums. They also seem to be based in their basic elements on various established styles, but those existing solutions are pushed to extremes, at least from a traditional point of view.
Synthetic Architecture aims to give us a better image of how the world around us will look once the next architectural revolution starts. And considering the influence of AI on design recently, this image, no matter how outlandish it might look, could be quite on point.

]]>Jospin has been creating jaw-dropping cardboard sculptures for the past 15 years. Her works have been exhibited all over the world and commissioned by high-profile companies like Dior. They are also part of permanent installations in art galleries, buildings, and open spaces like Max Mara’s flagship store at Piazza del Liberty in Milan, Italy.
While her works encompass a large number of themes, the majority of Jospin’s creative output is centered on the recreation of caves, forest landscapes, and architectural ruins. Each piece is done with meticulous precision, depicting decaying stone material, flaking tree bark, and complex patterns.
Jospin’s sculptures often aim to “explore the relationship between nature and culture while challenging our perceptions of materiality.” They are displayed in a way that invites the viewer to give them a closer inspection, either by passing through them or by getting close enough to be able to fully appreciate the artist’s craftsmanship.

]]>Devis and Rueda met while studying architecture at the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia. After finishing their studies, the duo decided to use their architecture background to, as they put it on their website, “tell stories through fun and surprising images that are far from conventional architecture photography.”
It’s safe to say that they have managed to do so, as their creations are aesthetically appealing, unusual, and quite entertaining. Their style represents a mix of creative ingenuity, minimalism, perfectly executed positioning, and even humor.
The most impressive thing about Devis and Rueda’s works is that they don’t use Photoshop to achieve the “wow” effect in their photos. The duo turns to software for some basic image processing, but everything else results from careful planning and craft.
After finding the architectural piece that inspires them, the duo first holds a brainstorming session that usually leads to a rough sketch of the piece. Then they head to the site, where the idea is perfect and captured with a camera.
Anna Devis and Daniel Rueda’s creative efforts have recently been recognized by Forbes Europe, with the media outlet listing them on their prestigious 30 Under 30 list. The couple also caught the attention of some major brands and collaborated with Disney, Netflix, and Facebook, among others.

]]>Growing up in a family of architects, Wrońska was always fascinated with buildings, monuments, and urban settings. This passion prompted her to pursue a degree in architecture at Warsaw University of Technology but also greatly influenced her work as an artist. She adopted cityscapes as the dominating theme in her works while choosing watercolor as a medium in order to establish her own distinct style.
This combination made Wrońska’s works quite captivating. Even when she’s painting familiar settings like the Chicago skyline, towers of Rome, and New York’s Times Square, the scenes look new and exciting due to the effect of watercolors.
One of the things that also set her works apart is an unusual color pallet. Her goal isn’t to match the reality but to devise a color scheme that fits the particular city the best, in her opinion. This might relate to the history of the city, its climate, the artist’s mood at the moment, and much more.

]]>Peter Tarka’s imagined interior landscapes provided us with a source of inspiration. Minimal, geometric, and altogether captivating, they present the ideal home for quarantine and beyond. Tarka’s use of color is also striking, inspiring us to experiment more with pinks and blues when it comes to our homes.
Entirely self-taught, Tarka’s motto (and advice for other aspiring artists) is simple: “Work hard and get enough time of sleep (repeat until the end of your life).”
An award-winning art director, graphic designer, and illustrator, amongst his accolades are a Silver Cannes Lions for Art Direction & Design and a Bronze Cannes Lions for Use of Social Platforms. His unique aesthetic hasn’t gone unnoticed, having collaborated with brands as big as Apple, Google, Instagram, Microsoft, and LG.
But according to Tarka himself, he gravitated towards this minimalist, digital aesthetic mainly because he couldn’t draw without the aid of a computer.
“I started pretty early with Photoshop CS2, which I got from my father’s friend (I’m almost sure this was a pirate copy),” he shared with Medium. “I always liked drawing, so I started creating really simple stuff with brushes etc…”
“In 2011, I started thinking about giving more depth to my illustrations, so I used simple 3D tools from illustrator and then retouched them in Photoshop to give them a more natural feel,” he further explained. “After this I moved onto Cinema 4D, which has turned into my main program along with Photoshop.”
The end result is both captivating and inviting. And while our homes and interiors are far from ideal, Tarka’s digital landscapes are something we can aspire to… at least in theory.

]]>Despite being made out of delicate material, Velliquette’s creations display a surprising level of durability and stability. Case in point below.
“Paper comes in endless forms,” the artist told Colosall in a recent chat. “It can be used in multiple dimensions. It is easy to handle and manipulate, and it is available anywhere. It is inherently ephemeral, but given the right conditions, it can last for centuries.”
Hello to folks who visited here from the @paperartistcollective This is a piece I’ve had in progress off and on for several months but am getting close to finishing 
Over the course of his 20-year career, Velliquette had 150 exhibitions in museums and galleries all over the world. His work is in part of the permanent collection in Chazen Museum of Art; the Art Museum of South Texas; the Racine Art Museum; The John Michael Kohler Art Center; and others.

]]>Henzler spent a year in Copenhagen and fell in love with the city’s architecture. While he was living there, he made his first hand-knitted blanket panel and called it Copenhagen Building Blocks. It’s made of six patterns sewn together into a larger piece. The six patterns include architectural blocks from different city districts: Nørrebro Studios, Østerbro Studios, Hellerup Apartments, Nyhavn Hotel, Nørreport Offices, and Frederiksberg Apartments.

]]>The post It’s All in the Details: Thibaud Herem’s Illustrations are Amazing appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>“For each drawing I find that there is something special about the building that drives me,” noted Herem in an interview with Uncube Magazine. “For ‘the Grand Budapest’ it was the symbolism, what the film’s story represented for me, and the great respect that I have for the director,” he further relayed.
“Drawing ‘fiction’ was a first for my practice and something that I enjoyed a lot.” According to Herem, he spent 600 hours (!) on the drawing before adding the watercolors. “It was the fictional aspect of the building that felt most present to me when I was working on it,” he says.
But incredibly enough, Herem wasn’t trained to be an illustrator. Born in France and currently based in London, he comes from a background of graphic design. “I always wanted to be on the illustration side of things rather than the design side,” he explains. “I’m very interested in the aesthetic aspect of architecture and I find that graphic design allows me to learn about this through the construction of images of buildings. In this way I learn about the history of buildings too.”

]]>John plant is just a regular guy from Queensland, Australia, with one unique hobby—he likes building stuff from scratch with his own two hands. He started getting interested in building without tools as a kid, and by the age of 11, he built his first hut.
John’s process is simple—if he wants to build something, anything, he starts from scratch. He only uses what is naturally available to hi, like dirt, rock, wood, and water. If he wants to chop down tree leaves to make a roof for his hut, he first has to build an ax from a sharp stone and a branch; if he wants bricks for that hut, he needs to make clay from dirt and water and shape it into bricks.
After university, John started recording his projects on his YouTube Channel, Primitive Technologies, and without even knowing, created a new genre of videos. Folks were hooked— they loved the idea of creating useful, necessary things with no modern tools. Today, John has 10 million subscribers, who follow his adventures, and sometimes try to build stuff from scratch just like him.

]]>“When creating interiors, I always turn to nature, asking myself what it would look like in nature,” he told Sixtysix Magazine. “Even when I look at plastic as a modern man-made material, I associate it with nature. I can relate transparent plastic to ice.”
Though based in Russia, his work takes him around the globe, with his schedule increasingly tight. Since 2007, Reutov runs his own architectural and construction company, with his studio conducting projects of varying complexity from residential interiors to business spaces. These projects are carried out with his own team of builders.
Reutov explains that as his work varies, so does his day to day. He usually starts off his day with some decision making: how to make things, who’s going where, etc. Then there’s purchase orders, site inspections, and endless meetings with clients, construction workers, and contractors. Still, he makes sure to leave space for inspiration. “I always spare myself some days for pure creativity because, at the end of a day, I am creating all the projects myself,” he says.
“I don’t call it work,” adds Reutov. “This is a process for me, a process I love. I’m solving problems. Seven days a week.” Join him on his creative journey via his Instagram page.
