I know this doesn’t look like your ordinary “Urbanscape” – but hear me out. Over the course of my high school years, I have taken a considerable interest in architecture and urban planning. This December, I underwent an independent project in which I attempted to design a building using an unconventional inspiration – a dumpling. This photograph was one of the main inspirations for the project. I imagined a rotund base, curving up toward the spiraled peak of the tower, with some sort of skyscraper antenna at the top. The project fell into pieces in the end, but I use this image as a constant reminder of the importance of creativity, especially in architecture and urban planning – inspiration is everywhere.
