I am delighted to present to you a utopia generated with the help of artificial intelligence. Imagine a city submerged in the depths of the ocean, a metropolis that defies geometric conventions and stands as a testament to beauty and wonder. This city, born from limitless creativity, emerges slowly upon the waters, taking on a unique shape that challenges our traditional perception. Its forms intertwine in a non-Euclidean geometry, where lines and angles intersect in a dance of perfect proportions. It is as if the city itself were an architectural masterpiece defying our understanding, and invites us to look at a possible, or utopian future in the water. But it is not just the intriguing form of this underwater city; it is also the astonishing adaptability it possesses. As it expands, it seamlessly blends with the marine environment, harmoniously adopting elements from the surrounding marine fauna and flora. Its streets become aquatic avenues adorned with vibrant corals and lush underwater gardens. Venturing into the limits of this submerged city is entering a world of fantastic scenery. Its inhabitants, both human and marine, coexist in a symphony of diversity and mutual respect. The interior spaces are imbued with indescribable beauty: underwater gardens suspended in the air, halls illuminated by the filtered light of the ocean, and floating monuments that defy gravity itself. The city extends in multiple directions, its branches branching out like giant seaweeds, embracing new horizons and revealing underwater landscapes of unparalleled majesty. Its inhabitants delight in the dance of marine creatures, enjoying a perfect balance between human progress and the preservation of marine life. This AI-generated utopia not only represents a futuristic vision but also a call for harmony with our natural environment. It invites us to imagine a world where coexistence between humanity and nature is possible, where our creations integrate into a global ecosystem of beauty and sustainability. In this unique underwater city, the future becomes tangible. It is an invitation to dream, to believe in the infinite possibilities that our imagination and technology offer us. This submerged city is a testament to the limitless possibilities that arise when we combine technology, imagination, and a deep reverence for the natural world. It serves as a reminder that progress can coexist harmoniously with the preservation of our planet's precious ecosystems.
I am delighted to present to you an extraordinary vision: a golden city, an architectural masterpiece of sustainability and equality. In this urban utopia, deconstructivist design merges with organic harmony, creating a city that captivates the senses and ignites the imagination. The golden city rises majestically, its curved forms reaching towards the sky, defying conventional norms and embracing bold innovation. Its golden architectural sculptures seem to grow organically, mimicking the fluidity of nature and blending seamlessly with their surroundings. This city stands as a beacon of sustainability, with cutting-edge technologies maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. Solar panels and rainwater collection systems are integrated into each structure, powering the city self-sufficiently and respectfully towards the environment. But beyond its beauty and sustainability, this golden city is a model of equality and social justice. Its streets and public spaces are designed to foster interaction and inclusion. Lush parks and vibrant plazas interweave with each other, where people from diverse backgrounds and cultures come together to celebrate diversity. Life thrives in this unique city. Its curved skyscrapers house homes, workspaces, educational and recreational facilities. The urban fabric intertwines with abundant green spaces and vertical gardens, creating an environment that inspires health and well-being. The golden city is a beacon of inspiration for the world, a testament that architecture can be more than static structures; it can be an artistic expression and a driver of social change. In this urban utopia, conventions are challenged, and new forms of coexistence between humans and nature are explored. Let us imagine a future where our cities embrace beauty, sustainability, and equality. Where architectural design becomes an expression of our respect and love for life in all its forms. The golden city is a dream that challenges us to reach for it, a call to a better and brighter world.
This project was born with the idea of looking beyond the known and seeing urbanism and architecture in a different way, through changes, using creativity and imagination as a driving force to bring forth a different proposal that offers future solutions to how humans could live. That perspective has its origin in its name, Sion, which means "City of God." In a dialogue at the South American Congress, architect Aravena mentioned that we were purely dependent on gravity, bound by it, and that made us terrestrial beings. It was then that a dormant dream awakened. Creating foundations for the city of Sion and reimagining urbanism from a concept as simple as flight allows us to question everything known and change the way we view the city. Cities that were conceived in two-dimensional plans would have to be rethought. Through thorough research, I discovered that there is no city with deconstructivist foundations. It was based on these principles and the understanding of designing beyond what is known that this proposal was born. Perhaps you wonder why it had to be so different. The answer is simple: if it resembled what was already known, it would be terrestrial. Therefore, in a challenging exercise, I ventured to explore the realm where the unknown began to take shape and, above all, the foundational concepts of future urbanism. Through a deep and complex study, questioning and drawing from the known, I gave birth to the initial sketches of a city with deconstructivist principles that should not be designed in two dimensions but in three dimensions. This questioned everything known, such as privacy, the way we communicate, our connections, and the speed of this city. It was a beautiful experience of thought and understanding, encompassing many parameters of architecture, which gave rise to the work I present to you now and will continue to advance in the future. It has taught me so much about what I already knew and even about things I was unaware of. I believe it was one of the best ways to look at architecture, to envision the future, and try to provide an answer. I don't know if this is the path, and I am far from knowing if this will be the future, but what I have learned within this study has enriched my experience in architecture and design. It has shown me that every lesson learned and every stroke made throughout my career was worth it. I present to you Sion, the City of God, and I express my gratitude to the educators who shaped me. It is thanks to them, my family, and my guiding God that I have been able to take these steps. Thank you.
