Architect Manas Bhatia used AI technology to create “symbiotic architecture,” showing how apts. carved out of Hyperion trees would look.
The architect questions: ‘Can the envelope in which we live & breathe as creatures do, instead of us dwelling in air-conditioned concrete and glass boxes we call apartments?’
The result is a surreal series of apartment buildings that take on nature completely.
Hollowed-out Hyperion trees are transformed into functional breathing architecture, with apartments facing inwards and natural lighting sweeping in to create an illuminated, enchanted natural space.
In this envisioned alternate future, buildings are not machines made from concrete or steel. Instead, they are live and can grow to accommodate the ever-growing needs for housing.
Manas Bhatia imagines apartment towers as giant hollow redwood trees that breathe and grow. They are magical, but would they continue to grow if they were all hollowed out and everything?
As you may know, our brave realtor recently went missing when the home they were showing became detached from what the owners had assured us was a "foundation," and floated away to an unknown fate.
Pegafin Realty is now pleased to bring this 🌟 Breaking News:🌟
Not only is our real-estate agent alive, they ended up somewhere truly spectacular…. Spectacular with investment opportunities! 🤩 🤑
Behold:
✨ The Manatee Kingdom✨
After over 96 hours of tense radio silence, Pegafin Realty received an email from our agent—full of these remarkable photos!
After floating out into the Florida Everglades, the Fort Swampsbutt property filled with water and sank to The Manatee Kingdom: an unrecognized independent monarchy, previously thought to be mere legend.
There, our agent found an inexplicably habitable atmosphere and many friendly locals.
Sadly, the property was deemed "maritime salvage" under the local bylaws. It was promptly set upon by manatees, which each slowly scooped up a chunk of McMansion in their manatee mitts, and leisurely floated off to sell them at auction.
But our brave realtor was not deterred. For they had found themself in a land of rich investment and real estate opportunities for you and your family! As they search for homes to show, here's a sneak peak at everything you can expect, should you choose to make The Manatee Kingdom your home!
Bustling downtowns:
Historic neighborhoods:
Community:
Luxurious gated developments:
Unusual shopping opportunities:
Legend has it that The Manatee Kingdom is not merely for manatees, but built of the bodies of ancient fallen manatee titans:
I found a picture of a house on instagram. I decided that it is beautiful, so, I started drawing it. Midway through googled this building. Nowhere was the answer to the question of origin other than "Gaudi, Barcelona". The interesting part is that I absolutely could not find the house by google searchin just the architect. I sought the answer to this riddle in Twitter and other sites, when suddenly I saw a post about it on Facebook, of all places. All the comments under the picture were about it being AI generated. And after some deep diving, it indeed seems to be true.
Anyways, I already drew it so why not post it
It kind of sucks, though. I mean, should i really spend 30 minutes of my time to check if my reference is real?
Recently, the @mcmansionhell Discord chat gave me another prompt for an AI generated property: wet. The chat and I then embarked upon a truly epic journey, which I shall now share with you…
**Note: we have still had no word from the Pegafin Realty agent sent to show the home, and all subsequent rescue teams have sank into the swamp. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of our agent—or the property—please call now! 📞☎️🤳
