Trying out a new set of brushes.

The Bachelor project is upon me! Time to expand on the future of London, why not?

I decided to start off with the street fashion of 2150 AD. Not only is clothing an important part of the final vision, but the cuts and patterns of clothing are usually deeply rooted in the form language of their surroundings. Finding a direction now will help me to achieve coherent designs later on.

Some buildings. The main inspiration for it all is medieval times, mainly gothic architecture, armor and of course dragons. The future Londoners will after all call their city 'the slumbering dragon', latent but by no means to be trifled with.

 Different ideas for dealing with the rising water levels of the future - as much as 4 meters by the year 2200.

The basic apartment for London's booming population. Everything you need to survive, a bed, water, toilet, food, storage and entertainment. It might not look like much, but its just enough.

 Structural exoskeletons of ultrastrong nanomaterials replace the normal concrete core of highrises, allowing for a more free placement of interior walls and spaces.

With the city buildings rising ever higher into the condensation clouds formed by artificial photosynthesis, the streets must follow suit in order to keep up with the demand for surface area. Multilevel shopping streets are glassed in to ward against the London rain, and to turn the rain into something enjoyable, the collected masses of downpour are funneled into hanging rain fountains for fabulous displays of falling water.
