CITY PALACE OF THE FUTURE

A. Kovalchuk, Teacher at VXPO, Moscow

The project is arranged on a tall metal table-stand with thin metal legs. This is a model fantasy of an ideal city which is not located "in nature," but rather includes nature inside itself.

The city hangs over a field. The first level is manufacturing, the second is warehouses and communications, above them are "cultural" institutions: museums, libraries, movie theaters, etc.

Above them are residential living spaces, and above everything else is the "Office" of City Management. A "ring-road" is located over the city for air-apace transportation.

CITY PALACE OF THE FUTURE
