ulises rethinks models for urban design using ai
Floating Fantasies envisions a whimsical series of inflatable public spaces inspired by the joyful naivety of bouncy castles. The Midjourney-generated series conceived by digital design studio Ulises celebrates the transformative power of artificial intelligence, art, and design in reimagining our urban environments as more inclusive and engaging spaces for all.
The poetic renderings feature large, multi-layered installations crafted from recycled plastic, bringing city life onto water as they float along the River Seine against the Parisian backdrop. The use of sustainable materials and emphasis on fostering a sense of community further serves as an eco-friendly and socially conscious approach to urban design.

With its newest AI exploration to imagine innovative and often surreal design concepts, Berlin-based studio Ulises ponders a poetic exploration of surreal and playful public spaces with an eco-friendly approach to design. The project captures a poetic celebration of the beauty of life and renewal in Spring, inviting visitors to engage with the natural world in a meaningful and playful way. ‘By creating an interactive space that blends seamlessly with its surroundings, Floating Fantasies inspires us to embrace the joy and freedom that comes with the season,’ notes Ricardo Orts, founder of the studio.
