The relationship between science fiction and architecture
It is indisputable that architecture and science fiction are interconnected and that a process exist where both feed off from one another.
I have been always fascinated by science fiction threw all kinds, but my favourites always where those about future such as star trek and star wars
( even though it suppose do be a long time ago ; ).
Last semester I realized that there is a big connection between science fiction and architecture and became very excited. Since that point i use to design and create buildings like I use to build Lego spaceships as a young boy. When I watch a science fiction movie these days and see the landscape of a city, I instantly try to find similarities in style from things we know from reality.
Coruscant for example: is a planet in the star wars universe, whose surface consists of one big multilevel megalopolis. George Lucas calls him self a “Victorian” type and so this future mega city ended up having an “art deco” kind of style. The skyscrapers, so tall that you can hardly figure out where they start, do remind us on buildings such as the Chrysler Building in New York, one of the art deco icons.
