(above) Concept art of megastructures facades in Bladerunner. This immediately brings to mind a similar shot in Otomo Katsuhiro’s Akira, who was likely influenced/inspired by this film.

A must have for any self-respecting sci-fi film fan, as well as those keen on studying the concept art work of a master designer. Highly recommended.
