Fan Wennan does basically this but for socialist realism

Awe is a very accurate descriptor here :niko-wonderous:

No one wants to imagine 500 meter tall neoclassical architecture anymore. It's all orbital, dyson sphere, and ringworld now.

I recommend the manga Blame! which takes place in a world entirely composed of one massive abandoned megastructure.

yea i love it, an amazing kind of liminal vibe with the impossible architecture. others in this thread already mentioned the game Naissance, but i also have to recommend the game Lorn's Lure, a game about being a cyborg/android and climbing very similar kinds of spaces. also there was an episode of Off the Air on adult swim that had a segment towards the end with a flythrough of a 3d fractal that had marble architecture aesthetics that remind me of this.

There's a really good French/Belgian comic series for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Cit%C3%A9s_obscures

Nothing quite like the simultaneous awe and dread of looking at a construction so gargantuan that you feel like an ant on the floor of a cathedral

Yes, I've played dark souls. This looks cool as hell in it's own way

a few by John Martin:

Belshazzar's Feast, c. 1821

John Martin, Pandemonium, 1841

Satan Presiding at the Infernal Council, c. 1823–1827

I'm afraid of being inside really tall buildings cause I keep worrying gravity is gonna suddenly reverse and I'll plummet to the ceiling.

You might love the visuals in the movie "Last and First Men". It's just 70 minutes of cool B&W shots of the anti-fascist monuments in former Yugoslavia with Tilda Swinton narrating a sci-fi story about the humanity's future.

You might like Naissance

edit: oh shit I didn't realize it's straight-up free now, even better
