Architect Reacts to Alice in Borderland: Brutalist prison architecture as foreground!

What if Tokyo became an abandoned battleground? In Alice in Borderland, architecture isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a psychological weapon. As an architect, I’m breaking down the urban decay, brutalist structures, and megastructures that shape the show’s survivalist world.

🔹 How abandoned Tokyo creates an eerie, dystopian atmosphere
🔹 The symbolism of brutalist buildings & oppressive design
🔹 Why skyscrapers & megastructures represent power and control
🔹 How the game arenas manipulate space to create fear & tension
🔹 Is this architecture realistic? Could a city like this actually exist?
