“Real cities - although not all - aren’t planned out from start to end,” explains CubedRealism. “They grow naturally.”
It’s really this observation that has defined CubedRealism’s approach to building his city, and what sets his work apart from so many other builds. Every structure has a history. In the very architecture itself is a story of how the city's purpose has changed. Dereliction creeps in. Nature reclaims unused spaces. Old buildings get refurbished and extended. Abandoned industrial sites become swanky condos. The fashionable new builds of the 80s become canvasses for graffiti. The city lives!
Above all else, exploring CubedRealism’s city reveals a love for all kinds of architecture - new, old, functional or fancy. Even the careful recreation of coal-burning power plant expresses a certain sort of beauty - one of several power stations that form part of a decentralised power grid, in the mix with other renewable energy sources. Part of this is realised in the world, part of it remains an imaginary but important context that informs how CubedRealism builds.
