The Art of Naturalistic Innovation of Living

In the context of a rapidly changing world, characterised by increasing environmental concerns and a growing need to promote a balance between human architecture and the natural environment, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a tool to generate naturalistic images with an innovative and meaningful approach. This process goes beyond mere artistic creation, extending to the design and communication of profound and important concepts related to new and future visions of living with nature. My participation in the competition aims to explore the application of this revolutionary technology in the creation of futuristic and utopian images, focusing on the significant concepts that emphasise living harmoniously with the natural environment.

"SANCHITA Cityscape & Warehouses" - the future of our spiritual nature

Definition: Sanchita - a large warehouse containing all known and listed types of karma Experts suggest that artificial intelligence will impact all technological and material aspects of the anthroposphere. However, could this form of intelligence also influence the spiritual lives of people in various spaces and dimensions? 1. Introduction: Sanchita Cityscape and Contemporary Issues Karma is the only concept in the world that relates to human turmoil in the face of suffering. It is the sole logic explaining the apparent randomness of the world we live in, closely linked to the hot topics of pandemics, war, and conflicts in 2022, 2023, and 2024. How else can we understand the ubiquity of human suffering? How can we comprehend the horrors of war and deadly diseases? Karma operates on three levels: body, mind, and energy, with energy, as we know it, functioning on levels: body, limited space, planetary energy. Architects are directly responsible for constructing spaces that influence people, and soon, with the advancement of technology and known ethno-sciences like Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra, they will be responsible for modeling spaces in other planetary dimensions, such as Mars. 2. Technological Advancement and Membrane Buildings Charged with Visible Energy What was once stored as information on millions of stone slabs, papyrus scrolls, books, discs, and tapes can now be encrypted onto the smallest particle. Soon, technology will find a way to record information onto pure energy itself. We will be able to load memory directly onto the energy of electricity, allowing the electric current to flow freely in space with intent. It will possess information to behave in a specific manner and make specific decisions. The "Sanchita Cityscape Warehouses" project explores the idea of shaping architectural space in the future with semi-living membranes charged with information through visible currents and precisely controlled magnetic fields in habitable vacuums. This project is inspired by "Bubble Architecture" and the Japanese concept of inflatable and movable buildings, similar to which the architectural membranes of the future will be designed. 3. Cities Charged with Visible Energy Karmic information in organisms is encoded in various cycles, the largest of which is the solar cycle, as everything living and non-living in the solar system is influenced by the sun. A person living according to the solar cycle has a life filled with excellent health, prosperity, synchrony, and minimal resistance. Here, the idea is reinforced by the notion of cyclically-oriented Solar Punk Hive Cities of the future, in which these organism-buildings, Sanchita Warehouses, find their development and full life. 4. Sacred Semi-Transparent Energy Spaces and 'Karmic Wellness' In other words, karma is like old software that we unconsciously wrote for ourselves. And, of course, people update it every day. Once this software is written, the entire human system functions accordingly. Based on information from the past, certain memory models constantly reappear. Thus, life becomes repetitive and cyclical. The recalibration of the human karmic cycle takes place in these Sanchita karmic membrane spaces. Energy interventions in people's lives are linked to life in a space filled with vibrant energies and illuminated in some way. There are many sacred places in the world with power. In the energy centers of the future, seekers of spiritual truth and those fleeing from the fast-paced and polluted world can visit places charged with specific visible energy and magnetic energy carrying information to selectively balance their bodies in a certain way. There’s no more religious divisions – only enhanced energy and spirit for all.

Cultural Arcadia Village: Redefining Fujian Tulou Heritage

In the future, China has facing the architectural heritage crisis. Futural is move fasting to us, but we can’t forget of our culture and history. The best way to incorporate traditional architectural and futuristic architecture is to get inspiration from the past. Tulou is sites were inscribed in 2008 by UNESCO as World Heritage Site, as “exceptional examples of a building tradition and function exemplifying a particular type of communal living and defensive organization harmonious relationship with their environment”. Tulou are traditional fortified dwellings of the Hakka people in China, known for their distinctive round or square structures, wooden verandas, and intricate architectural details. It has a thousand years of history and embodies our ancient wisdom in this architectural design, I want people from all over around to know it and experience it.

The future is Guarani

"For those who do not understand our language, I will translate. The Guarani people were like a river flowing slowly in its course when a giant stone was thrown into the stream. The water splashed into many corners. And the survivors are here today gathered together," says the Guarani-Kaiowá Anastácio Peralta, under the nodding eyes of his 'relatives' from Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. With this introduction I would like to talk a little about the Guarani people and how they can serve as inspiration for architecture in the future, forming a utopian relationship with nature. The Guarani people of Brazil have a rich cultural heritage that is rooted in their deep connection to the natural world. Their way of life, which emphasized harmony and balance with the environment, can provide inspiration for architects and urban planners as we look towards a more sustainable future. By studying the Guarani's approach to architecture, we can learn how to design buildings that are not only beautiful and functional, but also respectful of the natural world. For the Guarani, architecture was not just about shelter, but about creating spaces that facilitated social interaction and community cohesion. Their traditional buildings were constructed using local materials such as wood, bamboo, and thatch, and were designed to blend in seamlessly with their surroundings. They utilized natural ventilation and lighting techniques to minimize their energy consumption and promote healthy indoor environments. As we strive to create a utopia for our future society, we can draw on the wisdom of the Guarani to design buildings and cities that are in harmony with the natural world, and that promote social interaction, community cohesion, and a sense of well-being. By integrating these principles into our architectural designs, we can create a sustainable future that is both beautiful and functional. The Guarani people, considered the oldest indigenous group in Brazil, possess a rich cultural heritage that has been fragmented due to various social transformations. Understanding the configuration of the first dwellings in the national territory is not only important for historical and cultural memory, but also for understanding the relationship between humans and the living space in contemporary times. To this end, a qualitative research was conducted with a focus on narratives that describe, through documentary and bibliographic records, the customs and relationships that occur within their dwellings. The result is a brief documentation of the origins of cultural diversity, with an emphasis on behavioral approaches from the perspective of housing and the role of women within this society. By studying the architecture of the Guarani people, we can learn valuable lessons about their harmonious relationship with the environment and how to design buildings that are respectful of nature. The traditional dwellings of the Guarani were constructed using locally sourced materials, such as wood and thatch, and were designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape. Furthermore, the role of women within Guarani society is also an important aspect to consider when discussing their dwellings. Women were responsible for the construction and maintenance of the homes, and their knowledge of local materials and building techniques was highly valued. By understanding the architecture and social customs of the Guarani people, we can gain insights into sustainable and respectful building practices that can inform our own approach to architecture and urban planning. Throughout this project, I will not only be discussing the Guarani people, but they were the starting point for the idea. There are many other indigenous communities in Brazil that deserve recognition and attention, including the Xingu tribes, the Yanomami people, the riverine communities, and the isolated tribes. Each of these groups has unique cultural practices, customs, and ways of life that are important to preserve and understand. By exploring the diversity of indigenous communities in Brazil, we can gain a greater appreciation for their contributions to the country's heritage and identity.
