"Anti-utopias can therefore be used as a critical method for reflecting on society, without the need to escape to an idealised utopian narrative where all issues have been resolved, or to a dystopian one where all has gone awry. By acknowledgingthe flaws and shortcomings of utopias and exploiting them, anti-utopias propose critical reflections on society whe ent or fear, but rather a re-examination and questioning of the status quo through imaginative means."

A huge building with endless corridors and public spaces, with the best view of the city, in the most central place but on the verge of collapse. En eternal conflict between the dreams of a better life and the daily reality in a building that always reminds us that some dreams are allreasy lost. This project attemps to emphasizes this contrast with the limited use of color in selected elements in a series of black and white sketches that spatially capture the film.
