My most fantasy rich and innovative ideas.

Modulair beanhouse

To be made
with digital
3D maker-techniques

A beanhouse that can be divided into functions from a central staircase. The illustrations speak for themselves. The hope was to make a model with a lasercutter of a digital milling machine.

It would be most desirable to work with this design with a partner in art or architecture.

Overview beanhouse
At the bottom-left the designproces starts with a ‘statement of requirement’ for the modulair beanhouse and ends at placement on a polar coordinate system. pencil, paper A3 (2021)

The biggest possible
studio

Modern woodworking,
permaculture and
all sorts of stuff with food

A mix of the most biggest and most unrealistic projects together with some of the more realistic, with here and there also some of the most beautiful ideas.

From a room for developers where data visualization even is projected on a dome, to a studio where selecting mountainbikes from the wall is a way to take a break. These studios hope to create worlds of possibilities for developing the most fantastical things: see the illustrations, of which there are many more.

A start to making these studios would be to impress by directly converting mathematical input to 3D output, and off course by looking for interested people in for example the cultural sector or on fairs.

Roadmap studio
A coarse roadmap of products, virtual and real, to make it in the world of design and architecture. pencil, sketching paper A6 (2018)
All kinds of projectors with data
Data visualization on a dome, one central big screen and augmented reality on a landscape. pencil, sketching paper A6 (2024)
Futurism and mountainbikes through garden
An advanced studio that lets you relax outside in the garden with mountainbikes. Concept-presentation of a special restaurant and of a mountainsport pyramide could be the studio’s output, together with far more intelligent designs. pencil, paper watercolor sketchbook (2023)
Inside garden behind gallery
A combination: presentation-space for maquettes/restaurant with garden. pastel & pastelpencil, pastelpaper A3 (2024)
3D printed green banks
Just like on the last image: 3D printed stones that let a garden grow in every direction. This time with cut-aways for sitting.
The studio that inspired this and the previous pastel-drawing: WASP from Italy (video) . The kind of studio that I would like to have founded myself.

Vertical greenhouse garden fills rooftop terraces
In the globe the young plants slowly move upward on a conveyor belt. Once winter is over the grown plants can be moved outside to fill the rooftop terraces. Imagine the color explosion with maybe an enjoyable spring festivity on some of the days.
This vertical greenhouse garden is an invention of a Swedish studio: The Swedish Plantagon (video) .

Juice machine with garden
A harvest festival at which you can select from a machine fresh juices contained in bottles. pencil, watercolor paper A5 (2023)
Possible output of modern woodworking
A table with special legs, a sailing ship, a rowing boat, a game of chess. Output of algorithms. (Many more sketches of many more things exist.) pencil, watercolor paper A5 (2023)
Sailing ship with special mast
The sailing ship from the previous drawing in a webapplication as the one in the next drawing. fineliner, smooth paper A3 (2022)
Rowing-boat with code developer interaction
Webapplication in which designs can be shared with others. Multiple shared designs can bundle together by tagging. With friended other designers new designs can be started and co-designed. pencil & fineliner, smooth paper A3 (2022)

Cattle heals dessert
(A completely different project somewhat related to permaculture.)
Cattle roaming around freely has the capability to heal the environment and let biodiversity flourish. The principle can be seen diagonally, which needs the addition that the cattle’s dung spreads the seeds and enriches the ground for all kinds of organisms.
Can you spot the leopard?
The inventor of all this gives a presentation here: Holistic Management (video) .

Game or animation

A new world full
of near-future technique

A world with robot ships and robot harbors, all kinds of modern flying machines that can for instance easily take off and land vertically and a vast landscape crossed by the hyperloop with linked into it a “highway” subnet to maximize the space for nature on the ground.

Here some of the best schemas and drawings that could be followed up by a completely different sequence of drawings: drawings with a story or only impressions of the atmosphere. Or immediately go for it with a team and make a game or movie.

3D harbor overview for a stimulating website
A few other schemas of automated harbors (lower half).
The thought was to put them online as mini-3D animations for marketing and to inspire and stimulate the studio’s employees. Interactive like a mini-game is also possible.

Hyperloop subnet system
One special vehicle that can go 50 km/h on rural roads and reaches more than 1000 km/h in the hyperloop system. In between these to speeds a ‘high-way’-system of 175 km/h should be erected also on pillars above the rural roads just like the hyperloop.
Like this you have the ideal of minimal impact on the ground, nature and animals.

Game or animation
(A storyline)

Futuristic
fantasy rich
events brought
in a story intro.

Many of my drawing are filled with intriguing and fascinating hyper-technology. Also many of my drawings are small art pieces as they are, such that they easily could resemble exciting scenes in games or animations. I therefore like to try to tell a story with my drawings being closer to the shape of a real game or animation.
What you see next is a try. An intro.

Courts

With
playgrounds,
parks,
architecture

Intriguing. Beautiful as sketches themselves, but maybe also to inspire some kind of abstract paintings.

Renovated old farm

A dreamhouse on the countryside

Already from an early age on I dreamed of living in a renovated old farm. These days also with modern architecture in mind. Most rather I like to see this architecture not brutally invading but seeking harmony with its surroundings.

New city within
an archipel

A megaproject with
the hyperloop,
VTAL aircraft,
robot ships and
automatic bridges

With kayaks and sailing boats, with basket traps and fish farms, villas and education centers. An area for industry, a district for conventional ship. A great deal of thinking has gone into this project and hopefully it leads to a game or some other kind of digital impression.

A cartoon

Or an illustrated story

These drawings are completely different and it altogether becomes a bit much to make everything I ever came up with. An option to start working on this story again would be making a hit with some other graphical work like a painting. But I currently concentrate myself on developing websites and computer programs so I don’t know if it will ever get to that. Even to making art in general.

An old roadmap

An old idea
for a modern
sustainable company in
the maker industry

Such dreams and ideals. One of the ideas was using sustainable non-toxic paint with a basis of linseed oil on all products made. Ideas like this should penetrate through all building methods and every choice of material in this studio.
