Planes & Elevations
The year is 2028. China controls 90 percent of the Earth’s mineral market and has just founded the Lunar Economic Zone, joined in physical space and economic partnership by a 10,000-metre tall space elevator to Shenzhen. That’s the fictional background to this lush animation, produced by creative coder, animator and spatial designer Zhan Wang for his 2014 diploma project at the Architectural Association in London. Framed as “an Olympic opening ceremony style media report”, the 2028 Lunar Mineral Parade depicts not only speculative architecture but also speculative geopolitics. It’s not strictly pen and ink work but this animation marks a stunning step up in visionary megastructure illustration aesthetics – plus it includes the best space elevator design we’ve seen to date.
