Extremely filthy, highly branded, and built from reclaimed shipping containers, this foreboding vision of the future of architecture paints a rather bleak fate for cities. Created by South African designer Justin Plunkett, the so-called Con/struct series is meant to illustrate the overbearing influence of commercialization both on the way we live and on our urban landscape. Plunkett hopes his computer-animated work—which looks like one part shipping container architecture gone awry and one part ruin porn—will "encourage questioning and exploration: inviting the debate around how marketing-induced aspiration and perceived value can empower but can also corrupt, how it can be both perverse and create beauty."
