FEDOBILIS

FEDOBILIS is a speculative architectural project that investigates the idea of unrealized possibilities through spatial organization, movement, and transformation. The project is conceptually rooted in the notion of Fedora as a keyword representing ideal cities that exist only as fragile visions, suspended between imagination and reality. Rather than depicting a fixed urban form, Fedobilis is designed as an evolving system that produces, consumes, and regenerates possibilities through spatial cycles. The architectural language of the project is defined by vertical towers, circular platforms, and transitional bridges that establish a layered and hierarchical environment. Circular voids carved into the structures act as both spatial and conceptual cores, emphasizing absence as a generator of meaning. Structurally, the city relies on repetitive modular elements and lightweight connections, reinforcing a sense of continuity and openness. The contrast between solid platforms and permeable frameworks creates an atmosphere that oscillates between stability and fragility, echoing the uncertainty of unrealized futures. Everyday life in Fedobilis unfolds through the movements of its inhabitants. From the perspective of a creature living in the city, the day begins at the highest points of the triangular towers, where rest takes place above all activity. Through narrow bridges, the creature travels toward the central tower, circulating through its circular floors while interacting with the voids that sustain it, much like hope sustains human life. After completing this journey, the creature reaches the largest circular platform, a space dedicated to transformation, where shells are shed and renewed. The discarded shells fall downward toward infinity, while the creature returns to its dwelling, allowing the city to continuously generate new possibilities through repetition and change.
