ARCADIA

Arcadia refers to an ideal place, a vision of pastoralism and harmony with Nature. It has remained a popular artistic subject in art and literature since antiquity. 

This Arcadia is a physical model with sculptural elements that are erected against rules of architecture: roads are blocked, towers are raised in imbalance and there is no apparent order to this dystopian cityscape.
The elements follow the language of architecture but reject its logic. Nothing here is built to function, shelter, or resolve.

What is this utopia, and who does it serve?
