[Luc Schuiten](https://www.vegetalcity.net/en/) is a Belgian visionary artist known for his organic and free-flowing designs that depict built environments in harmony with nature.   
  
Parallels have been drawn between Schuiten’s work and the ethos of [solarpunk](https://solarpunkanarchists.com/2016/05/27/what-is-solarpunk/), suggesting his architecture is an excellent depiction of the ecological futures the aesthetic movement imagines.  
  
From his [planes like birds](https://www.vegetalcity.net/en/ornithoplane/) and [trains like caterpillars](https://www.vegetalcity.net/en/tramodulaire/) to his speculative series of [futuristic renditions of existing cities](https://www.vegetalcity.net/en/villes-de-demain/), Schuiten presents an original and fantastical take on urban mobility, the built environment, and the sense of wonder ecological alternatives can evoke.
