Future Cities of Australia

These futuristic visions were made for the Australia pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale. Creative director Ivan Rijavec was inspired to show cities as places where people can thrive rather than as scary, urban environments.

From The Age: "Instead of looking at the city as a place you should fear, it's about recognising that cities are actually the place that offer possibilities - whether it's entertainment or intellectual, you name it," says Rijavec, a Melbourne-based architect. The problem is " the popular press keeps persuading you that it is a place of fear."
