"Future Worlds" Concept

 For the first "Future Worlds Concept I took the idealistic Utopia we all know and love, and added a dual-nature to it. Technology has advanced, but we remain divided on the method of execution. On the right of this Neotropolis we have those who prefer a more rigid approach to their method of execution, being extremely precise and very direct with their approach. On the left, the approach is more organic, with the buildings taking a sort of natural flow to them. I refer to this method of design as a sort of "willful segregation" where the inhabitants hold no ill will towards one another as a whole (people will always hold grudges, individual feuds are exempt) and they get along well, but each side dictates its preferred approach with the middle having a spire that fuses the two ideals together into a monumental task that seldom could hope to pull off. For Reference, I took a look at two science fiction movies in the past 20 years that I felt were underappreciated but amazing: TRON: Legacy and Tomorrowland. The cityscapes that appeared in each movie had a unique feel to them, and I chose to blend the two to create the duality of this city. The small figure of myself would appear to be in complete awe as he gazes upon this marvel, appearing as though his mind is attempting to comprehend the infinite possibilities that appear before him.

This second future is the fan-favorite post apocalyptic approach, which is the result of an as of yet undetermined disaster. I wanted the small model of myself to appear rugged, with clothes that are falling apart after years and perhaps he is clutching the Flag of the United States in on hand, as though he refuses to let go of the ideals and the way things were as he looks upon the devastation. Maybe the crisis was the result of overpopulation, overzealous leadership in one nation or another, or it could be the result of individuals making their way across the globe and systematically destabilizing entire regions through overexertion on natural resources. Whatever avenue I choose, I know that most of the destruction is the result of explosives, missile fire, or a distant nuclear bomb going off. I will most likely narrow it down as I weigh the options.
