About Discussions Projects45 Journals16

Apocalypse Design examines how designers and architects respond to imagined end-states and catastrophic futures. The work explores speculative built environments, survival systems, and spatial solutions for worlds transformed by environmental degradation, societal collapse, or radical change.

The community investigates vertical survival structures, post-collapse housing, sustainable architecture in hostile conditions, and the reimagining of urban space after disaster. Projects range from elevated systems above contaminated landscapes to stripped-back architectural approaches that question fundamental design principles.

Atomique

The basic concept for the design and layout of this housing project is inspired by the branching structure of the nuclei of atoms. Specifically, the modular units that make up the housing structure are designed to mimic the branches of an atom’s nucleus, while the cores and open spaces within the structure are meant to represent the nucleus itself.

Architecture of the Apocalypse

Babylon 20.20 - constant movement upward abroad of smog. So structure of the "ant hill" appeared in the new alternative houses of the post-apocalypse. People stopped seeing the true forms of each other, and everything that surrounds them. Everyone needed shelter and protection and began to equip their homes from the wreckage and parts of old buildings.
