当我们第一眼看到这些高楼的时候，也许会以为这是现实生活中真实的场景，实际上他们是比利时，布鲁塞尔设计师Xavier Delory在研究关于欧洲城市所经历的巨大的变化时候所想像出来的一种概念，而这一组有趣的正在进行的系列被称作城市形态Urban Forms。

如同纸张的轻薄一般的摩天大楼是“浮华和脆弱的象征符号”，也是对当代建筑的一种讽刺。在此之外的其他建筑中，Delory只是展示了建筑表面的立面，去掉了余下的部分。这意味着现代建筑中很多都是以老建筑物为内容，却没有与之发生任何的联系下而建立起来的。在最后一张图片中，设计师展示给了我们一张建立在老住宅屋之上的摩天大楼。

“这是一个关于城市街区，历史城市狂叫被现代住宅区和办公大楼破坏，阻断之后的真实写照。”他说道，“发人深省，不是吗？”

这些超现实建筑的创作灵感来自于Delory平时所阅读的关于建筑，哲学和艺术方面的书籍。然后利用Photoshop，最少十几张不同的图片完成一张创作。

While at first glance these buildings may seem grounded in some sort of reality, they're actually the imaginative work of Xavier Delory to study how European cities have undergone a drastic change.This intriguing, on-going series is called Urban Forms。

Paper-thin skyscrapers are a "symbol of vanity and fragility" and are meant to be a critique on modern architecture. In still others, Delory shows only the facade of a building while demolishing the rest.This is meant to signify a shift in practice where modern interiors have taken over older buildings "without a link to the original architecture." In the last photo in this set, Delory shows a mash-up of an older residential building with a skyscraper.

"It's a reflection about the urban block, the framework of the historic city, its break-up and its replacement by residential and office towers," he says. “Thought-provoking, isn't it?”

The idea to create this unrealistic architecture came about as Delory read books on architecture, philosophy and art. He then constructed each building in Photoshop, often using 10 different photos to create just one.
