Apocalyptic Liverpool

Have you ever imagined what you would do in the midst of a disaster? I frequently find myself having these thrilling thoughts and solutions racing through my mind. I can't help but think that they are influenced by the countless films and games centered around survival. This is where my enjoyment of designing these apocalyptic worlds comes from.

The inspiration for this project stems from the Liverpool Liver bird myth, which states,

"If the birds were to mate and fly away, the city would cease to exist."

This concept led to the design of the Liver Building as an abandoned apocalyptic campsite set in the 1950s. The choice of this timeframe is particularly appealing due to the presence of the overhead railway, which adds a unique element as a potential location for a zombie survival game.
