The real places behind “Andor” architectural miracle of season 2

AndorLive work Star Wars Prequel series created by Tony Gelry and starring Diego Luna, concluded it The second and last season last month. It extends over the years before events One Rug: Star War storyThe series obtained tremendous praise from Star Wars Fans and critics alike to tell skilled stories, which raises the leading shows, Setpieces is majestic.

This is particularly true in the second season of the exhibition, which sees the previous thief who turned into a winning fighter to escape his life while working as a Saboteur agent and Severt Opeature for Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård), a computer that puts the foundation for what will eventually become the rebels alliance for the first time in the original in the original Star Wars. From the wheat fields in Mina Rao and the global greatness Gorman PlazaTo the sprawling wiping in CorusCant, each site feels as it is to pick up breathtaking.

Coruscant, in particular, takes a renewed resonance in Andor The second season. A look at the first screen on the screen was thrown in an additional scene to the release of 1997 from Star Wars: Episode Six – Jedi ReturnThe capital of the Republic of Galaxy and the subsequent Empire appears as it was in the Prequel trilogy – which is BRICOLAAG from the sparkling skyscrapers, brutal support columns, and endless passages of the hovering that follows the sky such as iris silver lines – with more practical science and reformed science from anything else.

AndorCorusCant has been inspired by many architectural features in real life, specifically the city of art and science in Valencia, Spain. “In the middle of the first season (from Andor), it has identified a kind of architectural methods that would work with Coruscant such as Santiago Calaatrava and Zaha Hadid,” Andor Production designer Luke Hull told IO9. “I have made a big scouting trip before we entered the production for the second season, only for the buildings that I have always found interesting and I have a good language for it Star Wars. This took me to Paris, to Barcelona and Madrid, and even Portugal, and we also looked at Valencia. So it was somewhat from a strange European land trip, some of which were a kind of good signal, and some were like, “Wow, I hope we can photograph here”, but we are not sure of that (Andor Season 2) was yet. After that, some of them were like, “well, this really has the bones” something “is” around it “, which I believed that Valencia had it.”

It was designed by Santiago Catalrava and Felix Candela, an educational and cultural complex was built 350,000 square meters along the dry bed in the old Toria River, which was drained and was transferred after the flood that was destroyed in 1957. The next decade, with the last building, Agora Plaza, ended in 2009.

“With this site in Valencia, you can just wander in every corners of it, (and it seems like a Korosiv,” said the optical influence of Mohene Leon in Interview with Starwars.com. “We have finished shooting a lot and completely communicating it in our full approach to trying to establish everything on the sites, then strengthening and increasing it. So this site felt specifically specifically and officially in a way that can believe this could be government offices.”

Lover Andor The Prince Felipe Science Museum, which is a large construction of the skeleton -like columns, will learn as one of the central pieces in the square that raises the imperial Senate building, especially for its appearance in the ninth episode of the second season, where Kasian Andorus was assigned to save the Senator Monda by ISB.

The Senate Plaza was not the only site based on the city of arts and sciences, as two other sites – the skyscraper of the oral clouds in Davo Scoldon, seen in the sixth episode and the last place of the meeting of Lathn Ryle and ISB MOLE Jung – was dependent on the Queen Sofia Palace of Arts and Montholphite Difference, respectively.

“We knew that we would only use to a certain point on the scene of the Senate anyway,” Hull told IO9. “Because we were putting the offices of the Senate, mainly, as the building was that we ultimately used the Davu Scoldon building, we replaced it with the Senate offices. So we were such a building, this building is to seize.”

“I really liked this idea that you can deal with the summit at the forefront (from Queen Sofia Palace of the Arts) as a kind of landing pillow. You really feel that everyone around you is falling through parties from the outside. I fought very difficult to try to photograph the site because I think it gives us a range that CGI cannot offer.

The same level of rapid attention to fashion design was also given to people inside the Senate. Michael Wilkenson, fashion designer AndorShe worked alongside a body to formulate clothes for Senate members and employees who felt complicated and reality.

“Coruscant is a really good example, because you have many different types of people in the Senate, and the public must quickly understand who and who does what it does.” “So we have the members of the Senate at the top of the pyramid; they are from all the different angles of the galaxy and represent many different cultures. So we had to try somewhat and express it through their clothes. Then you have the people who work in the Senate, so that there is nothing completely different, anything too much, as there is anything more than the Leviticus, and it will not have a bigger people, and there will be no different people, and there will be no different people, and there will be nothing different Completely, our deaf well, our mine well, and will not have a greater number of family. Star Wars That is, equivalent to the daily view of companies. Then we had security in the Senate, so they needed a uniform, after which we also had journalists and people from the outside world who came to submit a report on the things that occur in the Senate. “

Andor It is not the only science fiction series that is characterized by the city of Valencia for the arts and science. The university campus was included in an unfinished way inside the visual dictionary of modern science fiction, with the appearance of shows such as Westworld As the outdoor appearance of the Delos headquarters and in the 2017 “Smile” episode doctor. It also appeared on the big screen in the 2015 scientific drama Tomorrowland.

When asked about the reason for his thinking about the reason for the existence of a city of art and science, such a strong influence on the collective imagination of artists and managers alike, was fasting in the credit in the scope and diversity of Catalava’s vision of the structure of the complex. Hall said: “It is just an innate science fiction, and there is its size.” “The scale is enormous. It is a very coherent and covered vision. There is a lot to play with it. It is not just one building, and it is very rare to find it. For our purposes, I really felt that it embodies some of some of Star Wars‘Visual language. I mean, everything seems that Calaatrava designs are from the future, so it will attract this type of filmmaking and to tell these types of stories. “While writing this piece, I learned that a group of Spanish Star Wars Fans in the City of Arts and Science met Celebrated the fourth May in 2005Days before the first show of the play Star Wars: The Third Episode – Revenge from the Seth And nearly 20 years ago, the campus appeared itself Andor. Knowing that it does not seem to be less than the act of strength to see a masterpiece of Catalava in the end appearing in a distant galaxy.
