Machines & Gods is an isometric visual story of industrial archeology, built with some landmarks of the Ostiense district in Rome: the Gazometro, the Pyramid of Cestius, Porta San Paolo and the Iron Bridge. The industrial and classical elements mixed up with reference to the Trajan column, the temple of Minerva Medica and the reconstruction of the ancient Roma Termini station. The artwork is a dreamlike projection of the eternal city, in which the mechanical goddess Athena sculpture represents the portal to access the universe where the encounter between divinity and technology takes place.
The Architects is part of the Universe Stations collection, a selection of illustrated microworlds that visually connect to each other. The artwork describes an imaginary isometric city in black and white, built and suspended in the universe. The protagonists of the scene are inspired by two famous planners and designers, revisiting them as robots. They are the ones who contribute to the development of urban design, drawing attention to the importance of architecture and the fundamental role it plays in designing and defining the image of a city. Respecting the identity of an environment, enhancing its peculiarities, are the prerequisites from which starting to rewrite our future.
