Description
Based on the architecture project from LebbeusWoods (check his work, awesome drawings, theory and all, great stuff lebbeuswoods.net/ ).Done as a practice, getting near to something more architectural related.
I want also to thank you all that got an eye on my stuff, make me really happy that you all find something in my works interesting enough to follow, and make me want to improve more and more everyday.
But now im having to leave the digital painting world, i will give my digital tablet some holydays... it is going to be really tough for me, i enjoy so much painting, but for now i must, i need to priorize on other things. I won't be checking online sites too much, i have to fight a tough fight now. I will try to not get insane without painting!
Thanks you all again! see you in a while!

Did you know that the Greek word "Utopia" means "nowhere" or "no place?"

You are right, i wasn't thinking about it, but that is interesting. This was based on the DMZ project of Lebbeus Woods and his thoughts.
I will quote the description of his project, you can check all the drawings he made for this project, it is awesome.
"The DMZ project was made for an exhibition organized by Kyong Park at the Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York, with the intention of addressing the political division of the Korean peninsula, its military as well as social consequences. The project I devised, in an abbreviated period of intense work, extended my ideas of a 'second nature,' a terra nova, that engages the human and the natural in ways that are primarily spatial. The ultimate aim was to maintain the distinct characteristics of each, without sentimentalizing either, and to foster a 'third,' which is a new, ecological utopia. My idea of utopia, or, an ideal state of conditions for humans, is not based on a harmonious melding of conflicting conditions, but rather on the free 'dialogue,' or open interaction between them. The utopian condition is one of conflict, achieving a dynamic balance of opposing ideas, actions, forces, through continuous struggle to assert differences of every kind. This idea is based on the belief that the ultimate state of harmony is death. For living things and systems, harmony means the resolution of conflicts and the achievement of a final, 'peaceful,' state."
