ATLANTIS - Leon KRIER - Patrice ELMER

Reconstitution 3D du projet de Léon KRIER en 1986 pour Hans-Jürgen et Helga MÜLLER sur l'île de Tenerife.
Modélisation et montage vidéo Patrice ELMER
On pourrait comparer Atlantis à une vaste Académie étendue sur 5 hectares ou,
aux fonctions habituelles d’expositions, de rencontres, de spectacles, se
superposeraient toutes les activités liées à la vie d’une «colonie» d’artistes, de
scientifiques, de penseurs, de mécènes, réunispour vivre ensemble quelque temps,
pour travailler,chrecher, discuter, et participer peut-être à la revitalisation de valeurs
écologiques, culturelles et esthétiques les plus riches - et les plus menacées -
de la civilisation contemporaine.
Atlantis is rather like a vast Academy stretched over 5 hectares. It will host
exhibitions, meetings, study courses, performances amidst all the activities
connected with the life of an artist’ colony, a gathering of scientists, thinkers,
patrons,and student living together for a while, working, searching,debating
and taking part in the revitalisation of ecological, cultural and aesthetic values,
the richest - and the most threatened - values of contemporary civilisation.

Wonderful reproduction of the project!

[@patriceelmer]

Thank you!

[@goorook]

Great job!

[@patriceelmer]

Thank you.

Astonishing work! Is It possibile to get the hands on the 3d model? I'd love to print it!

[@JohnHenryArchitect]

A great composition. The buildings are rendered without specific material indication or coloration. The details appear a little blocky on certain buildings. The residential areas seem to offset a certain monolithic suppression or single vision. I am not sure giving up an entire city to one artist's mind is the best way to imagine something like this. (there are also many potential safety hazards shown) But overall a worthwhile study.

What does Leon think in 2024 about this project ?

[@jacekbrodziak]

Great job! Is it made in Sketchup?

[@patriceelmer]

Thank you. Yes, SketchUp Pro v8, render is Artlantis Studio 3 and vidéo iMovie and Shotcut.

[@wyattmcgee1]

Could you please make a recreation of Krier’s plans for Washington DC?

[@patriceelmer]

Nothing is impossible but I would like you to specify the reason for your request and the use you wish to make of it.
I also need to see with Leon Krier if he agrees and especially what the state of the project was, if he drew a simple master plan without more details of execution the work may be difficult and especially laborious.
In this waiting, best regards.
