Architecture and fiction (part 1)

Architecture and fiction
At least since the 19th century we have imagined a future where science is the central axis of human evolution. In this sense, architecture is closely related to science fiction. The evolution of architecture with access to new design and projection tools has made its practice diversify into other peripheral areas that are now ancillary, such as design, cinema, video games and the same technology.

These new technologies that have provided the architecture with multiple tools have also expanded its vision and methods of projection and representation. Today we can see finished, with full detail of textures and lighting, architectural projects created on a computer without having to be built thanks to digital technology. And if that science that does not exist other than imagination is science fiction, in this sense, what difference is there between virtual projection and futuristic cities and spaces conceived by science fiction?
This project starts from this premise. It is also a kind of criticism, very brief, of speculative architecture, that which in its exercise seeks innovation through pure innovation apart from the real problems of the contemporary world, which urge responses from all fields of human knowledge and which From architecture, it has a lot to contribute.
