The Pavilions of the Senses
In the near future, increasing pollution in the world will cause a previously unknown disorder called "ikki".
Humanity will then start to lose the use of all its senses...
Although most of them will try to inject themselves with technological implants that will transform them into a kind of bionic man, a group of scientists and architects under the impulse of Dr Nagano and the architect Kengo Kuma will start to search for a site through which they will be able to reinitialize the senses of human beings thanks to a unique architectural experiment with the "Tezawari" program.
The construction of these pavilions around the world was then launched...
The Taste Pavillon
Location: India
Located on the slopes of the Himalayas in northern Kashmir in a rocky corridor that is constantly swept by winds from the south. This place was called the cradle of spices by the ancients. Indeed, the wind that sweeps through this place brings scents from all over northern India to a single site. The pavilion is nothing but a tent the size of a Mongolian yurt which is located where the winds are most concentrated. This tent has small holes that filter a concentration of atmospheric dosage that will act on the sensory stimulus of taste for the person inside the pavilion. It is estimated that it takes 34 seconds for the sensory reset to take place.
The scent pavilion
Location: Scotland
It was a young shepherd who, while trying to recover a lost sheep, discovered this place. As he bent down to retrieve his sheep, he smelled the freshness of the grass and flowers again. The addition of rare phenomena, a constant atmospheric pressure, hydrometric and temperature all year round has made a unique grass grow that acts directly on our sensors. The lodge is located in the centre of this mountainous plain, it is simply a contemporary villa-like residence with an opening in the centre to let in the scents. It is necessary to sleep a whole night in order to provoke the "reset".
The sound pavilion
Location: Japan
Very popular with Japanese fishermen, located off the coast of Shiraishi-Jima, this bay is cradled by a windy sea current which, once it has vibrated, causes a deep feeling of calmness. The sound pavilion, also known as the pavilion of a thousand sails, was originally created to soothe people in great pain. However, if one remains motionless for only 1 hour, the vibration caused by the sails offers an inaudible sound frequency but establishes a "reset" of the hearing.
The touching pavilion
Location: Israel
Amit Hoffmann is the shepherd who discovered this place, or rather phenomenon... While grazing his sheep on the plains of a dormant volcano. He lost one of his sheep without knowing where it had gone until he looked up and discovered that his sheep was floating in the air. Amit had just discovered the only place on earth where gravity was absent... In addition to the absence of gravity, we observed a singular reaction of the human body during a presence of more than 5 minutes in this space, a "reset" of the touch... The pavilion is nothing but a wooden footbridge to wait for a drone to come and transport you to the center of the structure where the 0 G point is located.
The pavilion of the view
Location: Siberia
Without a doubt, the most important of all... But also unfortunately, the most difficult to access. Located only a few kilometers from the Russian missile launch pad. This pavilion is built under the ground and the ice. Inspired by the work of Professor Ballanche, the principle of the architecture is to create the most intense chiaroscuro possible. The pavilion is similar to a bunker with a succession of dark rooms until absolute darkness. You have to stay in the dark for 21 minutes and then go outside. The white of the snow is so pure that it creates a violent contrast at the level of the optic nerve which creates a "reset".

In 2099, WHO launched Project Omega... The Omega Project's sole objective was eternal life!
Fearing a destructive epidemic, the organization joined forces with other pharmaceutical and technological giants to work together to save humanity.
Initiated in 2066, the project took 33 years to complete. In agreement with the UN, a global treaty was signed to make the Omega Project universally binding on all human beings living on earth.
Few people really knew what this project consisted of. The only visible sign was the construction of a huge factory that sank underground like a splinter to extract as many resources as possible. But there were also rumors of the dematerialization of the body in order to connect our brains and souls to a giant computer that would generate an idyllic virtual world... The ultimate transhumanism.
The whole of humanity was divided in two, those who accepted and those who refused. Refusal meant abandoning all polluting technology and living a mortal life. Acceptance meant the promise of an ideal, immortal world...
All traces of modern technology were destroyed and reduced to nothing (cities, books, art, etc.).
Only those who remained (the Recas) were able to see what Omega was all about... Gigantic spherical cities called Neo, capable of housing several million souls, scouring a near-desert planet for any resources in the atmosphere they could find to support themselves. No one really knew what happened in these spheres, but none of the Recas regretted their choice.
As a final farewell gift, the Neo left behind a substance which, once absorbed, sterilized anyone who came into contact with it. This spelled the end of humanity as we know it in 2187.

For this work.
I imagine an hotel on abandonned marble quarries in grasses landscape.
For this architecture, I create a volume who remember the marble block and aspect of old stone.
The 3D model was made in Lightwave.

In a near futur, almost all drinking water resources are exhausted... A lighthouse that would also be a futuristic ship (The Icelight-Boat) was built to take the last iceberg to Earth in order to provide drinking water...
aIt is pulled by refrigerated cables that maintain the ice. Propelled by solar energy, the engine located underwater provides the necessary propulsion to pull the iceberg. To prevent the iceberg from melting too quickly, a product is sprayed in the air to protect it from UV rays...
This ultimate resource offers a final rest to humanity before the end ?...
