Building Utopolis - Phase 1

The ultimate master plan of Utopolis is laid out in the orthogonal method.  Eight-brick high bridges serve as the grid to which buildings are attached.  The City is conceived to sit on a shallow body of water - perhaps extending from the shore of a lake of the ocean.  The modular design of the structures make the arrangement flexible and allow a continuous expansion.  The following photos show the first official assembling of the metropolis in 2006.

Le plan ultime d’Utopolis s’organise autour de la grille orthogonale.  Des ponts de huit briques de hauteur relient les différents édifices.  La Ville est conçue pour être développée sur une surface d’eau à partir des rives d’un lac ou d’un océan. Le design modulaire permet des arrangements versatiles et une expansion continuelle de la Ville.  Les photos qui suivent montrent le premier assemblage officiel de la métropole en 2006.

Labor Omnia Vincit & Co Acquires Decaying Utopolis Property

The Empire Twin Towers were purchased directly from eEstate the Empire’s unreal estate arm. The amount of the transaction was not disclosed but source says the Empire was eager to unload the battered structures and were unusually accommodating.  The lower floors of the towers have been abandoned for years as all the commercial and communication activities were conducted at higher altitude, accessible only by air. Elements of the base are crumbling and many beams are just hanging from the structure although the graphite foundation core remains untouched. LOV says it plans a complete redesigning of the water and ground access and the reconstruction of the Tower’s lower floors.
