METROPOLIS

Metropolis
Metropolis. The megacity future.

This series is a look into a future that is filled with a voice from the past. In the late 1920s, Le Corbusier formulated a new vision of the ideal city: the "Ville Radieuse". It represented an utopian dream to reunite man within a well-ordered environment.

Flash forward to 2050, when it is expected that two-thirds of the worlds population will live in megacities. Imagine megacities where the dreams, ideas, curiosity, ambition and creative thinking power of a projected 7 billion people will all be concentrated. Imagine the possibilities. Imagine what it will look like.

What if these future cities will resemble Le Corbusier's vision? They will cease to be cities and will resemble entire multi-layered worlds. Cities will cease to be mere cities, they will become entities resembling entire planets.

This series of cityscape photography and timelapses is an ode to a bright and vibrant future. See the full series at:
