Olympiades by Alejandro Elias Garcia Marta

One day walking around the city of Paris, I encountered, by chance, a buildscape called Olympiades.
This space of perfect architectural control and illusionary rendering of an ideal society, created a theatrical, almost surreal experience that could be seen as a mixture of « Blade Runner » and « Metropolis » taken to a point of climax.

Park and streets

« I slept in the park every night after that. It became a sanctuary for me, a refuge of inwardness against the grinding demands of the street. There were eight hundred and forty acres to roam in, and unlike the massive grid work of buildings and towers that loomed outside the perimeter, the park offered me the possibility of solitude, of separating myself from the rest of the world.
