Características formais
Prompt positivo: Ultra-realistic 8K architectural visualization, eye-level perspective of Marine City, the utopian ocean-based city imagined by Kiyonori Kikutake between 1958 and 1963. The entire urban system is based on cylindrical geometry. Cylindrical living units are clustered around massive suspended cylindrical towers, all anchored to floating circular islands supported by buoyant spherical bases. These structural cores repeat across the seascape, forming a modular, expandable network of vertical megastructures.
Each of the city’s towers reaches up to 500 meters in height, emerging from a vast floating platform that forms the base of the city-island. The residential cells replicate around the central cores, forming radial compositions that reinforce both spatial efficiency and visual unity. The floating structure is engineered for seismic flexibility and flood resilience, showcasing an advanced level of architectural technology and environmental responsiveness.
The architectural language follows the bold, futuristic vocabulary of the Metabolist movement — modular repetition, structural expressiveness, and visionary scale. Rendered with hyper-detailed textures of raw concrete, brushed steel, and matte composite membranes, the scene is set in open ocean daylight, with subtle reflections on water and a neutral gray-blue sky. The perspective captures the monumental scale and techno-utopian spirit of a city designed to evolve, float, and resist nature’s extremes.
Prompt negativo: low resolution, static terrestrial cities, rectangular grids, vegetation or greenery, classical or historical ornamentation, suburban sprawl, colorful toy-like architecture, postmodern features, fantasy or sci-fi elements, hand-drawn style, sunset or golden-hour tones, aerial or isometric views, minimalism, nature-dominant landscapes, glossy materials, soft or whimsical aesthetics, digital signage, cyberpunk effects.

Características de Infraestrutura de Mobilidade
Prompt positivo: Ultra-realistic 8K architectural visualization, eye-level perspective of Marine City, the oceanic utopian city imagined by Kiyonori Kikutake between 1958 and 1963. The city’s entire circulation system is vertical, conducted through mobile transport elements that move within the massive central cylindrical towers. These high-tech vertical cores serve as both structural and circulatory spines, efficiently connecting the floating city’s various levels and modules.
Set on expansive circular platforms floating on the ocean surface, each tower rises from the water, surrounded by cylindrical living units that are modular, adaptive, and repeat across the seascape. The visual language reflects the architectural ethos of the Metabolist movement: futuristic, dynamic, and open to continuous evolution. Every component of the city is designed with structural clarity and functional logic — emphasizing adaptability, resilience, and vertical integration.
Rendered with hyper-detailed textures — raw concrete, matte steel, and translucent composite materials — under diffused daylight with soft shadows and ocean reflections. The scene highlights the scale and precision of the vertical transportation system, the symmetry of the cylindrical forms, and the technological ambition of this visionary floating metropolis.
Prompt negativo: low resolution, flat urban landscapes, horizontal-only circulation, natural vegetation or gardens, historic ornamentation, warm sunset lighting, aerial or isometric views, colorful or cartoonish architecture, organic or curvilinear designs unrelated to cylinders, suburban environments, fantasy elements, sci-fi aesthetics, cyberpunk style, postmodern features, glossy materials, minimalist structures, hand-drawn appearance.

Características dos Espaços Verdes
Prompt positivo: Ultra-realistic 8K architectural visualization, eye-level perspective of Marine City, the oceanic utopian city envisioned by Kiyonori Kikutake between 1958 and 1963. Floating above the water’s surface, the city features a vast, open horizontal structure — a free, elevated platform designed as a shared social space for interaction, movement, and collective activity among its inhabitants.
This expansive plane is anchored by cylindrical towers and floating modules, characteristic of the Metabolist architectural language. The open structure allows flexibility of use, reflecting the city’s commitment to modular adaptability, public engagement, and spatial freedom. There are no barriers or enclosures — only an engineered framework that invites human presence, creativity, and reconfiguration.
The platform hovers just above the ocean, supported by buoyant structural systems, with a clear view of the endless sea on all sides. Rendered in soft natural daylight with photorealistic textures — raw concrete slabs, matte steel framing, and subtle water reflections — the image captures the serene yet technologically ambitious vision of a floating city designed for a fluid, post-industrial society.
Prompt negativo: low resolution, land-based urbanism, dense vegetation, historical or classical ornamentation, warm tones or golden-hour lighting, colorful architecture, suburban buildings, postmodern or deconstructivist elements, fantasy or sci-fi influences, aerial or isometric views, hand-drawn or stylized aesthetics, minimalism, cyberpunk effects, curved organic structures, glossy materials, rigid spatial zoning, digital screens.

Prompt positivo: Ultra-realistic 8K architectural visualization, eye-level perspective of Marine City, the oceanic utopian city imagined by Kiyonori Kikutake between 1958 and 1963. At the heart of this floating metropolis, permanent cylindrical towers rise up to 500 meters in height, distributed rhythmically around a central structural platform. These monumental vertical cores are conceived as living trees, while the modular housing units attached to them are seen as leaves — adaptable, replaceable, and responsive to the changing seasons and the evolving needs of their inhabitants.
Each tower supports a dynamic array of residential cells, which can be modified, removed, or replaced over time, embracing Kikutake’s vision of a living architecture. The towers are exclusively dedicated to individual housing, reinforcing personal autonomy within a collective urban organism. Around the perimeter of the city, industrial facilities are strategically located, maintaining distance from residential zones and emphasizing functional zoning within the floating system.
The entire city is anchored above the ocean, with photorealistic architectural elements — exposed concrete, matte steel, and modular paneling — rendered in soft daylight under a gray-blue sky. Reflections shimmer across the water, and the repetition of the towering vertical forms emphasizes the city’s metabolist identity: a technologically advanced, ever-evolving urban environment in perfect harmony with change.
