Urban planning has gone awry in the fictional suburbs of digital artist Ross Racine.

From Racine’s statement:

Encouraging a reflective attitude by its distant viewpoint, the aerial view is used here to comment on society’s occupation and transformation of nature.

In addition, these invented suburbs exaggerate existing situations and drive the subject matter into the investigative domain of science fiction. Examining the relation between design and actual lived experience, the works subvert the apparent rationality of urban design, exposing conflicts that lurk beneath the surface. Beyond the suburban example, these digital drawings are a way of thinking about design, the city and society as a whole.
