The Phantom City Fortress

Part of a collection: For this sixteenth drop - see the Phantom City from above... Created by architectural illustrator Benji Connell, studio director for Concrete Clouds, one of the leading illustration studios in architectural visualisation. ‘Birthed from ruin, a Phantom City; warehouse full of people and scrap”. This artwork depicts a dystopian vision of a fictional future. Humanity stands on the edge of extinction. Relics of the past are hoisted into the sky in a new and bizarre vertical configuration. The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid - has transformed into an impenetrable fortress... like a hardened scab erupting from the scars of the arid desert wasteland. Scorched by the sun... the earth is torn apart. In this scene, we see the city from high above the fortress walls... offering a vantage point of a new and dangerous context. Building up the walls to surround them in... From a world built on SIN. The Pillars like SERPENTS.
