Ellina Poltavtseva<\/strong><\/a> worked on this\u00a0project for a competition, it was made in collaboration with Anna Spaggiari<\/strong>. She also worked in \u00a0Beijing at MAD Architects<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>She got her Masters in Architecture from the\u00a0Moscow Architectural Institute<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and is now working in Moscow at Strelka KB<\/strong><\/a> as a Junior Architect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poltavtseva <\/strong>added, “Shiny blue hills, glowing mountains and smooth rocks softly rise on top of Xi\u2019An Station. When visitors arrive, they suddenly land into the center of this hill, move up and exit in the middle of the blue surface looking at Xi\u2019An skyscrapers from a new perspective. This is perspective of a city of the future, where Xi\u2019An is not just known worldwide for its culture and history but also as a symbol of technological progress. Nonetheless progress does not come without drawbacks. Objects created by humans are damaging the nature, filling forests, seas and mountains with waste. Therefore, an artificial landscape is created on top of Xi\u2019An train station. Rocks, pebbles, islands made out of recycled plastic materials give shape to an imaginative nature without affecting the existing one. This is how the landscape of the future will look like, born from the combination of the familiar language of the nature and anthropic materials.”<\/p>\n

Poltavtseva <\/strong>used\u00a0Sketchup, V-Ray, Photoshop, Rhinoceros, Enscape, Autocad, and Illustrator\u00a0<\/strong>to create these amazing renders!<\/p>\n
