ARCHITECTURE STUDY : CYBERPUNK 2077

Cyberpunk architecture is a sub-genre of architecture the draws inspiration from the futuristic, dystopian settings found in cyberpunk literature and movies. It is often identified by a blend of futuristic, high tech design and gritty industrial features. The architecture draws heavily from the architecture of the 20th century—primarily the Brutalist movement. The Brutalist movement is a style that developed in the 1950s in the United Kingdom post World War II. There is a distinct emphasis on materials, textures, and construction.  Cyberpunk architecture makes use of the Brutalist movement’s concrete, steel and glass concepts in a natural and unpolished manner. Yet, it manages to add high-tech elements such as holographic projections, neon lights, digital displays, etc.  In the case of Cyberpunk 2077’S Night City a sprawling metropolis with large skyscrapers and mega-buildings create the beautiful skyline, yet the city is an evident mix of old and new—run down buildings manage to co-exist with high-tech structures.  Night City uses a lot of references to L.A, Detroit, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, however they primarily worked on from a clean slate. Urban Design experts were involved in the process to ensure that Night City looks credible—moving as a real city.

Night City wants to make you feel small and meaningless. The higher the building the more dominant it is. What happens behind the building is of little importance. That is why you get slum like areas even in the more central locations. Although there are obviously some things that could have been done about it, it seems that Night City was not built as a Theme Park. The image of the city, or how the inhabitants see it seems of little importance. Night City is a living, breathing metaphor. It is what you get when ambition, violence and overpopulation are the core foundation of the world you are building. Everybody wants a piece of the pie even if there is not enough for everybody. There are four varieties of stylistic identity used in the construction of the game: Entropism, Kitsch, Neo-Militarism, and Neo-Kitsch:

Entropism: Necessity over style. Buildings created in this style are old, grey and decrepit and are will often be found in areas where people cannot afford to modernize with the rest of society. Entropism, is a style based on poverty and a severe lack of resources. In a nutshell, this style visually tells the story of the very poor social layer of our world.

Kitsch: Style over Substance. Counter-Cultural movement against the austerity of the old days; an expression of happiness an d recovered. Bold colors, bright plastic and accessibility. Kitsch describes a slightly richer social layer of our world. Members of this social class would use some cyberware just to look amazing and grab attention. Architecture here would also be very attractive, with a lot of vibrant colors, a lot of shiny materials like plastic or good fabrics.

Neo-Militarism: Substance over style. Separated from the austerity of Entropism by its sleek and domineering aesthetic. It’s power dressing and has an air of luxury. A deadly layers of elegance and corporate, militaristic fashion. Associated with mega-corporations. Neomilitarism is very minimalistic, very rich, and very sleek. 

Neo-Kitsch: Style and substance. Holds similarity to Kitsch however it lacks semblance to the movement its predecessor aligned with. This is the youngest style in Night City but also a style only for the richest of the rich. People so rich you cannot even begin to imagine what you would do with all the money that they have. It uses only the most expensive materials in our universe like wood, gold, real animal leather and very unique but slick architecture design.

ARCHITECTS BENJAMIN BALL AND ALEX READINGER'S REVIEW OF NIGHT CITY IN CYBERPUNK 2077

Do you think it is realistic, what it would be like in 2070?:

Benjamin Ball: “I think cities are going to become more and more dense. We are going to be more packed in close to infrastructure. Old zoning rules will not apply. We will have to build closer and higher—we will have to build closer to freeways. People will have less personal space. There will be more, and more, runaway capitalism…Yeah maybe this [Night City] is a good take on what 2077 would look like...Hyper dense, very vertical places. “A lot of signage take on a lot of visage on the buildings.”

How sustainable do you think the city will be?

Alex Readinger: “It doesn’t look sustainable at all. There are wall-mounted exterior air conditioner units. This particular cyberpunk version has this ‘Bladerunner’ neon, whereas my version of the future would be powered by algae.”

Benjamin Ball: “Hard to say. Out environments would be synthetic—will be manufactured….Climate will have changed. It will be like living in a machine. Is that sustainable? I don’t know…We would be a lot more solar, a lot more nuclear, and a lot more hydrogen. Who knows?

Cyberpunk 2077 captures a lens of the world that encapsulates the future not just architecturally, but also sonically, politically, and in every single way. 

Alex Readinger: “What is frightening is that it feels like a world without relief. Endless sex shops, neon—no end to the noir experience.”

Benjamin Ball: “Endless trail. Endless maze. There is no break from the commercialism of it. Nothing comes out as sacred. There is no nature—it is all about consumption and desire. It’s relentless and it’s where we are headed.”

When you get to the columbarium—even death has be industrialized. “Step up as a uniform and non-personal gridded space with a digital readout. Even spaces that could be sacred was specifically designed not to be.” (Alex Readinger)

PROJECT: HOW/WHY IS IT APPLICABLE?

I plan to recreate chosen locations in Louisville while staying true to architectural design choices that have been used to create Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City. Since cities do not have to be recreated to have a Cyberpunk feel. All a city needs to go through is layers and layers of add-ons while keeping everything in the past. So I will do that exact thing with Louisville. Staying true to our local history while adding a bit of the fictional narratives associated with the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. For example, the downtown builds may depict Humana or the PNC Bank as a “mega-corporation” that domineers over all. Additionally, I will apply the concepts of brutalism into my builds as well.

Why visit Budapest?

It's possible that you don't need a specific purpose to travel to Budapest, the capital of Hungary. However, if you're deciding between a trip to Budapest and another European location, take into account the following reasons why Budapest is a wise choice:

Weather           

Budapest, which is shielded by mountains, has beautiful weather even when other parts of Europe don't. Here, the temperature is higher and the precipitation is gentler. Budapest might get hot in the summer, but it's lovely and fun in the spring and fall, especially if you're coming from an area where it's usually colder!

Architecture 

Budapest is known for its "faded beauty," which is evident in its multi-story structures that have not undergone recent repair or continual refurbishment. There are examples of several architectural movements. A magnificent example of Neo-Gothic architecture is the Parliament Building, while Budapest's Art Nouveau buildings contributed to the city's beauty at the turn of the century.

food and beverage

Budapest provides the chance to gorge on Hungarian gastronomy or any other kind of food, for that matter. Try the goulash soup and other classic national meals or any other kind of food, for that matter. Try the goulash soup and other classic national meals. Don't overlook Hungarian wine and spirits either. The fruit brandy known as Palinka is beloved among Hungarians and available in a variety of flavors. If you enjoy wine, the selections from the nearby wine regions that are available at restaurants, pubs, and wine bars will satisfy you.

Festivals 

Festivals Budapest has a variety of events all year long, including festivals honouring regional cuisine and drink as well as music, art, and film festivals. During the warmest months of the year, the Summer Festival is a major draw, and a Christmas market has Santa Claus appearances along with holiday-themed decorations, food, and presents.

Shop for souvenirs.

Hungary is adept at making money out of its exquisite, vibrantly handcrafted, and conventional goods. One of the most well-liked souvenirs is Hungarian needlework, which has vibrant flowers on a simple backdrop. However, tourists usually return from Hungary with suitcases packed with paprika, porcelain, marzipan, clothing accessories, or handmade jewelry.

REVIEW: GHOST IN THE SHELL (2017)

Ghost in the Shell is a film created in 2017 based on the Japanese manga/anime of the same name. The movie description is as follows: In the near future, Major is the first of her kind: a human who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that her life was stolen instead of saved. Now, she will stop at nothing to recover her past while punishing those who did this to her.

It has been a while since I've seen Ghost in the Shell, so it was very refreshing to watch it again. However, this time I intended to observe two main things: The city and the Hologram technology that is used/portrayed in the film.

9 minutes into this film we are already granted a flythrough of Newport City, we are given a nice view of the various types of hologram technology in between streets and alleyways as well as the grandeur of the larger holograms that can be seen from the "cityscape perspective".

Seeing the holograms used has given me some inspiration on where to place the ones in my city as well as the types of individuals/symbols I should consider using.

One thing I will say though, considering I am hyperfocused on the holograms, there is an abundance of them. So much so, that it is a bit distracting and overwhelming. I want to play off of this in my own renders. Ideally, I want to distinguish between "overwhelming" and just enough.

Okay, it’s ’love’. I wasn’t trying to trick you or anything. Look, if she’s really the girl of your dreams, then you have to let her know. You have to overcome any and all obstacles that lie in your path. You have the spirit of a warrior, Scott. You can do it! Be with her! It’s your destiny!

Plus, I need you to move out.

Scott’s face falls, completely shocked at this bombshell.

SCOTT

What? Why? Are you moving in with Other Scott or Jimmy or someone?

WALLACE

Or someone. Either way, I’m kind of banking on her calling you back so I won’t have to evict you and feel all guilty and shit.

RINGY RING. Scott and Wallace look at the phone.

WALLACE

I have a feeling that’s for you, guy

(Spoilers for Deltarune Chapter 2 alt route)

If you wanna know the trick to beating Spamton NEO in the alt route, it’s to NEVER attack. Whenever you could attack, defend. X-slash does 502 damage and costs 25 TP, meaning that each TP is effectively worth 20.08 damage. When you attack, the most you can get from it is 201 damage and 6 TP, or effectively 321.48 damage. Defending, however, does no damage but grants 16 TP, meaning it effectively does 321.28 damage. In other words, even if you crit every single time, which is near impossible, it’s still no better than just defending. Granted, you’ll end up doing less damage per turn defending since you need to spend more turns to use x-slash more often, but having more TP means healing is more easily available, and that’s not even mentioning the intended use of defending, which is damage reduction. It feels counterintuitive but a good defense ends up being the best offense.

Movistar, Vodafone, Orange y Yoigo ya tienen 5G: ciudades con cobertura, comparativa de tarifas y todos los detalles

Movistar, Vodafone, Orange y Yoigo ya tienen 5G: ciudades con cobertura, comparativa de tarifas y todos los detalles

El 5G es una realidad en España desde que en junio de 2019 Vodafone encendiera su nueva red móvil, pero no ha sido hasta septiembre de 2020 cuando el resto de operadores con red han decidido dar respuesta a su rival, anunciando también su pronta disponibilidad.

Movistar fue el primero en reanudar la guerra por el encendido del 5G a comienzos de mes, una semana después Orange respondía, y ahora ha sido Yoigo la encargada de anunciar la llegada del 5G. Los cuatro operadores que despliegan redes móviles en España ya pueden decir que tienen 5G, aunque son varios detalles los que diferencian la estrategia de cada operador como vamos analizar.

Diferencias y similitudes

Pese a declaraciones previas de los rivales de Vodafone que indicaban intenciones diferentes, finalmente todos los operadores han lanzado 5G NSA en la banda de 3,5 GHz. Es decir, ninguno ha esperado al 5G SA, que es el 5G con todas las ventajas, la menor latencia y mayor velocidad de subida. Tampoco han esperado a la disponibilidad de espectro en la banda de los 700 MHz después de que haya sido retrasada la subasta por la pandemia del coronavirus.

Con la llegada del 5G NSA, los operadores aumentan notablemente la capacidad de sus redes, permitiendo que más usuarios puedan permanecer conectados sin cortes a alta velocidad, incluso en movimiento. Además, la latencia también se reduce en esta etapa del 5G, para que los gammers puedan jugar desde la red móvil sin verse penalizados por el mayor retado de la conexión que ofrece el 4G.

Del 1G al 5G: así funcionan las redes móviles y todo lo qué cambia tras cada salto de generación

El alcance de la cobertura de cada antena está íntimamente relacionada con el uso de las diferentes bandas de espectro que se utilizan. De momento, todos los operadores han iniciado el despliegue de 5G en la banda de 3,5 GHz, que proporciona peor penetración en interiores, pero mayor capacidad y velocidad.

En cuanto a la velocidad del 5G en la banda de 3,5 GHz, Vodafone es quien más velocidad puede ofrecer en la actualidad, gracias a que los 90 MHz de espectro adquirido, son contiguos. Motivo por el que fue el operador que más pagó en la última subasta de espectro. En cambio, los 90 MHz de Movistar, los 100 MHz Orange y los 80 MHz de Yoigo se encuentran en diferentes bloques no contiguos, lo que impedirá ofrecer tan alta velocidad como su rival mientras no se reordene el espectro y se reubique el espectro utilizado actualmente por radares del ejército en la misma banda.

La ventaja de contar con espectro 5G contiguo permitirá a Vodafone ofrecer ya velocidades máximas que podrán doblar la velocidad máxima alcanzada por Movistar, Orange y Yoigo.

Con el paso de los meses, la futura subasta de espectro en la banda de 700 MHz permitirá que la cobertura 5G tenga un alcance mucho mayor, y una mayor penetración en el interior de viviendas, oficinas o locales comerciales. Pero eso no es todo en relación a 5G y espectro, puesto que la tecnología DSS permitirá que el 5G conviva en el espectro actualmente dedicado al 3G y 4G.

De momento, sólo Telefónica ha hablado sobre el uso de DSS para hacer que la cobertura 5G se expanda más rápidamente. Además de las siete ciudades donde Movistar iniciará el despliegue de 5G en la banda de 3,5 GHz, el operador prevé alcanzar el 75% de la población con 5G a finales de 2020 gracias, en gran parte, al uso de DSS.

Las ventajas del 5G NSA se diluyen por el uso de DSS, pero Movistar podrá afirmar que cuenta con 5G tras actualizar el software de los actuales equipos 3G y 4G. Mediante DSS, el operador podrá hacer un uso más eficiente del espectro disponible, de manera que en lugares donde el 4G no esté saturado, podrá usar parte de ese espectro sobrante en las bandas de 1,8 y 2,1 GHz para 5G. Aunque al dedicarse una menor cantidad de espectro, la velocidad máxima quedará mermada a niveles más cercanos al 4G.

Ciudades con cobertura 5G en España

Como toda renovación de generación móvil, el despliegue comienza en las ciudades más grandes e interesantes para los operadores de telecomunicaciones, de manera que el proceso se inicia con un listado de pocas ciudades que se va actualizando con el tiempo. Este listado de ciudades con 5G NSA en 3,5 GHz, actualizado en septiembre de 2020, queda de la siguiente manera:

Dentro de estas ciudades, la cobertura 5G tampoco es plena, y actualmente cubren porcentajes del 50% en Vodafone, y aproximadamente el 30% en Movistar y Orange. En cuanto a estaciones base con 5G, Vodafone cuenta actualmente con 600, Movistar con 200 (pero prevé ampliar a 500 al finalizar 2020), y Orange con entre 200 y 300.

Según se empiecen a desvelar la ciudades con 5G NSS mediante DSS, también las iremos actualizando aquí mismo.

Comparativa de tarifas 5G

Para poder acceder a las ventajas del 5G también es necesario contar con una tarifa compatible con la nueva red. Aunque Movistar ya anunció el encendido de la red 5G, de momento no es accesible para ningún cliente porque no ha desvelado su oferta compatible con 5G. El resto de operadores, sí ha confirmado que sus tarifas compatibles son las actualmente vigentes, y que no tienen recargo por este concepto en ningún caso.

En el caso de Vodafone, aunque todas sus actuales tarifas son compatibles con 5G y pueden acceder a ventajas de encontrarse bajo una red sin saturación y con menor latencia, hay que tener en cuenta que las tarifas ilimitada e ilimitada Maxi, tienen la velocidad máxima restringida a 2 y 10 Mbps. La ilimitada Total, la tarifa Mini y las tarifas yu, acceden siempre al máximo de velocidad 5G.

De entre las tarifas de sólo móvil en contrato con 5G, las tarifas disponibles en Movistar, Vodafone, Orange y Yoigo quedan de la siguiente manera:

En tarjeta prepago, de momento sólo las tarifas de Vodafone son compatibles con 5G.

En cuanto a los combinados de fibra y móvil con 5G, la oferta convergente queda de la siguiente manera:

Smartphones 5G en Movistar, Vodafone, Orange y Yoigo

Para acceder al 5G existe un triple requisito: contar con una tarifa compatible, encontrarse en una zona de cobertura y tener un móvil compatible. Aunque los dos primeros requisitos acaban de cumplirse, hace meses que todos los operadores empezaron a nutrir sus catálogos de smartphones con modelos 5G.

HOW TO: SEAMLESS LOOPS

When presenting these renders, I want to show them in a video format with a seamless loop. This is to achieve a natural viewing experience, but to also make the city feel alive--the goal is to prevent my renders from feeling simply like a video that will be watched. The seamless loop also allows people to look at the minor details I have added.

To learn how to do this I looked at a few different tutorials on different software (Davinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects) and see which method would be the most convenient and to provide me with the results I wanted, while keeping in mind time and file size.

I chose the following videos:

Seamlessly Loop Footage - After Effects Tutorial

How to Create a Seamless Loop in DaVinci Resolve (Pika Labs Animation Tips)

Create a Perfect Video Loop in Premiere Pro

After watching them all, I found that the most convenient method was the one done on Premiere Pro, however, the one with the results I liked more despite being time-consuming was the one on After Effects. The Davinci Resolve one, while simple, did create the effect I wanted, as where the clips would blend would still have an obvious distinction (it can be seen with the steam coming from the cup of coffee).
