An Architectural Satire
Digital Architectural Illustration
sat·ire
/ˈsaˌtī(ə)r/
noun
The illustration expresses how capitalism is redefining architecture and the practice model in the current epoch, and the elitist ladder that is deeply rooted in the society. This is also a self-reflecting piece that serves as a memorandum post-academia.
The grim jungle in the foreground set the somber tone of the piece as well as position the viewers. Three hierarchical sacrificial altars in the center of the illustration from short to tall representing ‘superficiality’, ‘misfitting’, and ‘hypocrisy’. They were drawn in an axonometric perspective whilst others are two-dimensional to create a more dynamic composition. An elevation view of the altar replica at the back reveals the brutal truth of the ladder society as it is merely an optical illusion.
