# Anarchic Architectural Concepts These Neil Taylor are about Self-Actualization By Josh Triantafilou | Published 2012-04-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neil-taylor References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Hidden-Agendas-freedom-of-speech-forum) & [neiltaylorrbonmade](http://neiltaylor.carbonmade.com/) On his website, Neil Taylor describes himself as a socially conscious [architectural and graphic designer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next-of-kin). The concepts featured here, collectively titled, 'Hidden Agendas: freedom of speech forum,' are designed with society and individuals in mind. Taylor envisions structures that provide spaces for [private thought and creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clifton-house). These structure are to age visibly and fit harmoniously into their cities. Taylor describes declares that some rooms are to be, "dark, concrete caskets that will reveal nothing." In a streak of irony, there seems to be a decidedly Orwellian aspect to these designs. Indeed, almost all the [concept art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series) is rendered in dark grays and blacks. The designs are meant to underline the view that statist and corporate institutions are anti-human. The Hidden Agendas structures are proposed as a way of combating this supposed anti-human society. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Privacy-oriented Architecture:** Opportunity for architects to design structures that prioritize private thought and creation, providing individuals with spaces that value their privacy. - **Urban Integration:** Potential for architects to create buildings that age visibly and blend harmoniously into their urban surroundings, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of cities. - **Countering Anti-humanism:** Opportunity to challenge the notion of anti-humanism by designing structures that oppose statist and corporate institutions, promoting a more human-centric society. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architectural firms can explore innovative designs that prioritize privacy and urban integration, responding to the demand for more human-centric and visually appealing structures. - **Graphic Design:** Graphic designers can contribute to the visual representation of privacy-oriented architectural concepts, integrating their skills to create compelling renderings and portray the message effectively. - **Urban Development:** Urban development companies can embrace the opportunity to transform cities by incorporating privacy-oriented structures that promote a more human-centric environment and combat anti-humanism. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protest Sand Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bland-castles.md) - [Graphic-Accented Brutalist Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-verville.md) - [Inversion Living Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway.md) - [Object Design-Explorative Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartamento-secreto.md) - [Contemporary Culture Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tselinny-center.md) - [Abstract Fantasy Home Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-fantasy-home.md) - [Essay-Integrated Dynamic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pax-new-yorkea.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Industrial History-Inspired Art Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tannery.md)
