Aurélien Aumond Captures A Neo-Futurist Amusement Park 

French photographer Aurélien Aumond has captured ‘Futuroscope’, a neo-futurist amusement park in the town of Poitiers that was designed and built in the ’80s.

The construction of the park was overseen by architect Denis Laming, a man credited as the initiator of the neo-futurist revival in architecture. Laming’s work moved away from post-modernism, representing instead a hope for a better future through the integration of technology with daily life. Aumond’s rendering of ‘Futuroscope’ removes Laming’s buildings from all context. Set amongst the perfect lawns the elements of the amusement park seem at odds with their surroundings—as if they have been rendered there by hand after the original photo was taken. Laming’s angular buildings seem alien against the natural landscape. The aim of the series, Aumond explains, is to question whether such neo-futuristic architecture is still relevant—has it failed to represent the future; or does it continue to act as a repository for our hopes for times to come?

Architecture School Buildings from Around the World

Architecture schools and the students they house have a particularly unique and interesting building-user relationship. Architecture students value the buildings of their school not only for providing the valuable work space necessary for constructing studio projects but also as an example and model of a building in use. As the buildings are the places where students first learn how to read and understand architecture, design schools become full-scale teaching tools that help new designers grasp structure, details, how materials perform and interact, and so many of the other core concepts of architecture. While the scrutiny of students and faculty can be exhaustive, architects have embraced the challenge of creating engaging works of architecture that both suit the specific needs of a school and take on the pedagogical challenge of educating students by example.
