Shiny blue hills, glowing mountains, and smooth rocks softly rise on top of Xi’an Station. When visitors arrive, they suddenly land into the center of this hill, move up and exit in the middle of the blue surface looking at Xi’an . skyscrapers from a new perspective. This is the perspective of a city of the future, where Xi’an is not just known worldwide for its culture and history but also as a symbol of technological progress. Nonetheless, progress does not come without drawbacks. Objects created . by humans are damaging nature, filling forests, seas, and mountains with waste. Therefore, an artificial landscape is created on top of the Xi’an train station. .

This is how the landscape of the future will look like, born from the combination of the familiar language of nature and anthropic materials.
