“The project amplifies and critiques Amazon’s monopolistic control of advanced building technologies, exposing actions that harm labor and human rights.
In a speculative future two centuries ahead, where the planet’s climate has deteriorated to the point that humans can only survive within mega-structures. This fictional Amazon has developed technologies to create gigantic, organic mega-buildings that consolidate all urban functions and mimic natural ecologies. These structures, intended for the elite, embody luxury and are crafted using both robotic labor and exploited human workers. The project illustrates a dystopian society dominated by techno-elites and corporate oligarchs, where gig workers, knowledge workers, the precariat, and the digital underclass are further marginalized. Human rights are subdued under strict surveillance and exploitation.
The project raises critical questions about the societal impacts of technological monopolies and the potential of architecture as a medium to challenge and redistribute power in a technologically dominated future. It encourages a reevaluation of our relationship with technology, emphasizing the need for human-centric approaches that uphold social justice and human rights.”
