City of Mainkon

  • Sunny Qin
Miankon speculates on architectural design in a post-scarcity and post-singular society. The project explores the possible architectural solution for the post-human living.

Miankon is a post-human city sited on future Canvey Archipelago. Neuzeckenstein sited on Can­vey Island. It is a pleasure house for it’s post-human owner -- Duke Zecke. In this project, a series of possible future technologies have been studied based on both scientific and sci-fi references. The genetic and cultural condition will also be drastically different for post- human, therefore, these aspects of post-human scenario have also be speculated on. The final design for both the Miankon city and the pleasure house Neuzeckenstein are packages of architectural solutions which have been intensively and intelligently worked out. The outcome of these studies have been produced into a ‘Design Realization’ document, which can be seen here.

Feasibility study for the reconstruction of the Neuzeckenstein

The final film ‘The City of Miankon’ took the audience on a journey through the Miankon city, into the house of Neuzeckenstein -- a post-human architectural tour.
