Architectures of the Earth: memory, power, vision

Elephant Architectures is a series of hybrid architectural visions born from artificial imagination. Here, the ultimate land animal — the elephant — becomes architecture, embodying gravity, monumentality, and a deep memory that emerges in unexpected forms. Each vision is a threshold between nature and artifice, between animal body and built space, between the ancestral power of the pachyderm and the architectural evocation that arises from it.

These elephant-architectures are mythical figures of a Bestiarum Mundi that does not imitate nature, but transfigures it. Skins turn to masonry, tusks into arches, wrinkles become structural textures. The animal’s mass is not weight, but telluric grounding: a form that carries the Earth within itself, as if each building were a temple carved into the very flesh of the landscape.

This series invites us to imagine an organic, visionary, bestial architecture, which does not represent the living world, but allows itself to be inhabited by its enigmatic presence.
