Recommend this page.
Antideath is a fictional model future city, whose culture is based on the principles of laissez-faire capitalism, rational individualism, technological progress, and the full embrace of life on this world as the ultimate value.
Antideath consists of three-dimensional models of buildings created by Mr. G. Stolyarov II using the free online drawing tool, Google Sketchup. The models can be downloaded and used for free by any willing person. They can also be arranged in Google Sketchup and combined with other building models to create model cities. Mr. Stolyarov gives full permission for these buildings to be used in derivative works, but he would appreciate being given credit for his contribution(s) to said works, and to be notified of their creation at gennadystolyarovii@gmail.com.
Many of the building models are also accompanied by two-dimensional images of them rendered by the free Sketchup plugin, Podium.

Why is this city called Antideath?
The purpose of Antideath is to simultaneously cultivate rational art and architecture and to spread awareness regarding the ultimate peril befalling the human condition at present. There is no such event as death by “natural causes.” All death is the product of severe bodily malfunction, be it heart disease, cancer, or an illness of the brain, such as Alzheimer’s Disease. The need to change public opinion in favor of full, unrestrained scientific exploration into working life extension of every conceivable kind is urgent and takes priority over all other long-term and short-term objectives, because without life there can be no awareness, no experience, no thought, no work, and no joy. The job of rational individuals who seek to live much longer than the current life expectancy (at the very least) is to insert an anti-death message – subtly or overtly – into any endeavor where such an insertion is at all feasible.
One of the goals Mr. Stolyarov has in mind for these buildings is that they will help affirm life in the minds of their observers and users. But affirming life and opposing death are two sides of the same coin. One cannot be truly “pro-life” unless one is also anti-death, although too many self-proclaimed “pro-lifers” neglect this truth. As people see these buildings, Mr. Stolyarov hopes that they will ask themselves, “Well, these are nice buildings, but why is the city called Antideath?” And that will get them thinking. Even the very awareness of the opposition to death – that it is seriously espoused somewhere by somebody – can inspire thought in people who otherwise would not have contemplated the matter from this perspective. These buildings are also intended to celebrate other vital principles in life, such as free enterprise, reason, and individualism – as well as the great thinkers of the past who contributed to the formulation of these principles.
If you would like to contribute buildings to Antideath, you are welcome to do so. Mr. Stolyarov would be delighted if this model city were to become an open-source project with multiple creators working on it. Just download a free copy of Sketchup and learn to use it. The learning is fast and highly intuitive. Then upload your models to the Sketchup 3D Warehouse by going to “File > 3D Warehouse > Share Model” in your Sketchup menu. Then you will be able to put the model into Google Sketchup’s extensive online 3D warehouse. E-mail Mr. Stolyarov at gennadystolyarovii@yahoo.com with the URL of your model’s page in the 3D Warehouse, and he will include it on the Antideath page. You may also feel free to create any kinds of two-dimensional graphics and renderings to accompany your model.
NOTE from Mr. Stolyarov: I am not an architect and as such am not an experienced judge of the technical feasibility of actually building my designs, based on the present technological and economic constraints. I intend my buildings to be exercises in esthetic imagination and only create the exterior of the buildings. Perhaps they or some elements of them might inspire actual architects to build structures that resemble them. Moreover, perhaps future architects will discover ways to render feasible some of my designs that are currently unattainable. If either of these events happens at any time, I would be honored and thrilled to receive any information regarding such developments.

Height: 172 meters.
This building is named in honor of Adam Smith (1723-1790), author of one of the most famous works explaining the functioning and advantages of free markets as well as the concept of spontaneous order (the “invisible hand”) in human societies. The building’s cross-section is egg-shaped, and the top of the skyscraper is ornamented with diagonally inclined rectangular prisms.

This building is named after Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794), the French chemist and biologist who discovered the law of conservation of mass, developed the metric system, and introduced a system for expressing the elements using a more rational nomenclature. This skyscraper consists of tridecagonal (13-sided polygonal) cross-sections that widen and then narrow, creating an original three-dimensional geometric shape.

The ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes was one of the first to work extensively on finding the value of pi, which is essential to determining the radii and circumferences of circles. This building is a tribute to Archimedes. Its cross-section is the intersection between two overlapping circles – one of which has a larger radius than the other.

Height: 255.84 meters.
This building is named after Claude Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850), French economist and free-market activist, who argued against protectionist legislation and in favor of laissez-faire. This skyscraper is a combination of ten towers, rising to 7 distinct elevations. The number of towers terminating at each of these elevations follows a 1-2-1-2-1-2-1 sequence. Each of the lower nine towers has a spacious open observation deck on its roof, while the observation deck of the top tower is covered by a truncated glass pyramid.
Bastion of the New Enlightenment

The brightly-tinted glass which predominates in this structure is meant to represent the joy and radiance of pursuing truth and improving human existence – the two strong foci of the 18th-century Enlightenment and principles that, I hope, will animate millions of human beings in the coming years and decades. The architecture of this building is, of course, not of the 18th century. It is entirely new, but animated by the same underlying philosophy. This building incorporates a broad range of geometric shapes, including rectangles, triangles, and trapezoids of various dimensions – taking the best of modern architectural influence and extending it into new, original territory.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was a true Renaissance man – producing remarkable accomplishments in numerous fields. He was an inventor, publisher, author, diplomat, statesman, and moral philosopher – among other occupations. This tower, with its multiple distinctive sections, is a tribute to multifaceted human beings who undertake a wide variety of endeavors and therefore lead colorful, fascinating lives.

Height: 257 meters.
This building is named after the Austrian economist Carl Menger (1840-1921), one of the three discoverers of the concept of marginal utility and an advocate of rational economic theory and the existence of universal economic laws. Menger paved the way for subsequent Austrian economists, including Mises, Hayek, Kirzner, and Rothbard, to create systematic defenses of the free market from an economic standpoint. The main tower is pentagonal and is not quite completely enclosed by the two golden front and rear components of the building, each of which is a piece of a circle.

At a height of 1.3 kilometers, this building is taller than any existing today. It is my largest and most ambitious creation to date, and it could probably house an entire city’s residential and commercial operations if it were built. Each level has a hexagonal cross-section, and the structure consists of increasingly thinner hexagonal layers. On each level, I emphasize different geometric shapes, designs, and colors. In this building, I try to embody the upward aspiration in humans – the urge to progress, to improve, to build more, better, and higher things. This building conveys all the color and vibrancy of the most noble drive in man – the desire for the continual amelioration of life.

This unassuming structure might serve as the seat of a laissez-faire government – one which does not do much except keeping the peace, adjudicating disputes, and enforcing contracts. This building, if put alongside my others – the buildings for private enterprise – would be dwarfed by them. Yet, under a limited government, a building like this would be able to comfortably fit all the state’s functionaries.
Height: 86.42 meters.
This building is named after the great Charles Darwin (1809-1882), who showed that the spontaneous order which economists had previously observed in the realm of human society was also applicable to biology. The amazing order and adaptation that exists with regard to life on our planet did not need to be centrally planned by a designer; rather, it could emerge on its own through individual entities undergoing a systematic process of natural selection over millions and billions of years. Darwin’s insights paved the way for modern biology and constitute an indispensable part of the knowledge necessary for man to eventually defeat his ultimate nemesis – death. The building is hexagonal and incorporates a red dome created by Google Sketchup user trey . My thanks go to trey for this contribution.

This building displays a kind of hypermodern architectural style that has not, to my knowledge, been actually implemented anywhere yet. The overall building shape does not even have an official name. It resembles a cone in that in narrows substantially from bottom to top. But it is not a cone, as it does not terminate in a point. Rather, it is analogous to a cylinder whose top is oriented at 90 degrees with respect to its bottom, and in which the transition from bottom to top is smooth and gradual. I have named the shape of this building a “colinder” – a hybrid between “cone” and “cylinder.” How many other interesting geometric shapes have yet to be incorporated into buildings?

This commercial center’s windows, columns, and parts of the roof are made of glass tinted green – the color of money. Vast amounts of transactions can take place in a building such as this, which was designed to celebrate the wonders of free enterprise.

This skyscraper’s cross-section is a dodecagon elongated in the front region with the entrances and windows. It is another of my attempts to develop a modern architectural esthetic that employs a wider range of geometric shapes and goes beyond squares and rectangles.

This building is named in honor of the Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek (1899-1992), who is most remarkable for his insights on spontaneous orders in human society and how highly dispersed information can incorporated into the decisions of millions of people who most often do not know one another or the circumstances surrounding one another’s lives. An appreciation of spontaneous orders is key to understanding why free, unregulated markets work in coordinating human activity to a vastly superior degree than centralized planning.
This building incorporates a wide variety of geometric shapes; the roof is a triangular prism and the front is in the shape of a diamond. The rear section of the building – which may appear as a rectangle – is in fact much more analytically interesting, as views from all sides of this structure will reveal.

The towers of this building follow the geometric sequence tn = 2n, where n ranges from 0 to 3. One tower branches off into two, which diverge into four, which split into eight. Every time this happens, half of the building (in terms of width) terminates in a series of 2n observation decks, depending on the value of n.

This deliberately eclectic structure incorporates a vast variety of textures and geometric shapes – triangles, cylinders, semicircles, trapezoids, cones, rectangles, and more. This is done to symbolize the wonders of globalization – the process that brings goods, people, and cultures together and integrates the best elements throughout the world into products and ideas that all of us can enjoy – and inexpensively at that. Globalization is a key force in raising standards of living, and it contributes to a significant extent to the phenomenal and accelerating rate of technological progress during our era.

This building predominantly employs gold brick and glass textures and is intended to celebrate the idea of the gold standard, an institution which a city such as Antideath would certainly have. A free-market gold standard ensures that money remains out of the government’s control and that people’s savings are not destroyed by government-induced hyperinflation. The gold standard is the surest way to free one’s money and one’s purchasing power from being subject to politicians’ whims.
On top of the building are three domes. The side geodesic domes were made by Google Sketchup user TaffGoch, and the central spiked dome was made by Zach.

This skyscraper’s cross-section is an icosagon, a 20-sided polygon. The number of faces permits the creation of an extended pattern – wherein faces of stone alternate with those of two kinds of speckled glass. The roof is half-stone, half-glass, with the stone and glass sections alternating. Although it may look conical, the roof is in fact an icosagon narrowing steadily to a point at the top.

The Isaac Newton Compound is a center of scientific research and innovation in Antideath. It is named in honor of Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727), the discoverer of the universal law of gravitation, inventor of the calculus, and originator of the classical approach to physics, which had as one of its byproducts the glorious Industrial Revolution.
This building is made from a combination of triangular and rectangular planes. Instead of protruding outward, the roof is dented into the building to produce an original esthetic effect.

Jean-Baptiste Say (1767-1832) was a French classical economist and advocate of laissez-faire. He originated the famous Say’s Law, which states that supply constitutes its own demand and that “overproduction” is impossible in a free market. Say also developed insights into the futility of attempts to augment wealth by printing more paper money. On each face of the building that has windows, the windows are triangular and diminish in size as their height above the ground increases. The juxtaposition of the windows among the faces creates the appearance of parallelograms bent in the third dimension.

This skyscraper is named in honor of John Locke (1632-1704), author of the “Two Treatises on Civil Government” and one of the most influential proponents of the idea of natural rights. The building consists of two discrete sections – a truncated cone followed by a cylinder with a face that gradually caves in.

This skyscraper is a tribute to the Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973), who had the courage to speak in favor of free enterprise and a rational, axiomatic-deductive approach to economics when most of his contemporaries advocated socialism politically and some variant of positivism methodologically. Likewise, this building stands out among the creations of modern architecture. Instead of being based on the rectangle – as are most modern skyscrapers – it is based on the circle. This building began as a single cylinder, and its components were created by removing some of the cylinder’s parts. This building dares to be round in the midst of its rectangular contemporaries – a tribute to Ludwig von Mises and to being different.

This residential villa is a blend of classical and modern architectural elements – a more geometric version of buildings that would have been created during the 18th-century Enlightenment. Hopefully, with continued and accelerating technological and economic progress, this kind and size of house will become a widespread single-family dwelling during the 21st century.

This skyscraper is a hypermodern adaptation of 17th and 18th-century palaces, wherein largely rectangular buildings would be arranged in such a way as to create an outdoor space framed by buildings on three of four sides – a three-sided courtyard of sorts. This palace is much larger and taller than any of its traditional counterparts, and the courtyard is formed by a single building – based on a hollowed-out, truncated circle. Instead of displaying the glories of monarchs, this structure celebrates the human rational faculty.

This tower is constructed on the basis of a progression of polygons whose number of sides increases by one as one moves down the skyscraper. At the top is a point (0 sides), which broadens into a line segment (1 side). Neither of these are technically polygons, and there is no closed, two-sided shape. However, what follows, in order, is a triangular tower, embedded in a square one, embedded in a pentagon, embedded in a hexagon, embedded in a heptagon. Mr. Stolyarov’s Polygon Emerald offers a two-dimensional analog to this building.

The flame on top of this skyscraper is a tribute to Prometheus, the ancient Greek titan who brought fire to humans in defiance of the wishes of the gods. Prometheus was punished by Zeus for his transgression – which was in fact an act of tremendous virtue and courage. While he suffered for millennia as birds of prey daily pecked out his liver, he was ultimately rescued by Hercules – so the story has a happy ending. The ancient Greeks took the Prometheus myth as a warning against defying the powerful and capricious gods. I view it differently, as an illustration of the tremendous gains that are possible when individuals courageously defy those who would restrict them from improving their own lives and those of others through technological progress. This building celebrates Prometheus and those of our predecessors contemporaries who fill his role.

This pyramid is not an elaborate grave, but rather a monument for the enjoyment of the living. It is intended to adorn the central square in Antideath and to serve as a reminder of the lengthy history of human engineering and of the human desire to create great structures that achieved a metaphorical immortality for builders who lived too early to have a chance at physical immortality. The apex of the pyramid is covered in marble, with a golden capstone.

Richard Cobden (1804-1865) was a remarkable English free-trade activist and political philosopher whose activities brought about the repeal of the protectionist Corn Laws in 1848. Cobden recognized that unfettered trade is a way of facilitating peace among nations – a lasting peace unattainable through any other means. When there is a free exchange of goods and ideas, people from different cultures begin to find reasons for friendship, toleration, and cooperation, rather than hostility, hatred, jingoism, and simplistic stereotypes. In promotion of a cosmopolitan, globalized society, I offer this building, whose front and two wings face a common raised central plaza, where individuals from all sides of the building can come to interact to mutual advantage. One can consider this central area to be analogous to the common ground that free trade and globalization establish among the peoples of the world.

Step pyramids were some of the first massive manmade structures, and they do not always enjoy a good reputation. Many Mesoamerican tribes, for instance, used step pyramids to conduct gruesome rituals of human sacrifice. But this step pyramid is different. It is a skyscraper which houses people instead of killing them, and each second level consists of glass windows. At the top there is no altar, but rather a capstone pointed sharply upward, symbolizing the noble aspirations of individualist creators to improve the human condition. Individualism is the polar opposite of sacrifice, and it is far, far greater. Correspondingly, it its dimensions, this pyramid dwarfs those that were intended for human sacrifice.

This skyscraper differs from most in that, instead of narrowing from top to bottom, it actually broadens, and the observation deck on its roof is its widest cross-section. This is analogous to the development of human ambition, for, in the best of circumstances, as prior ambitions are fulfilled, subsequent ambitions become broader in scope and the individual’s domain of accomplishments becomes broader. This tower is a clear demonstration of expansion in both the vertical and the horizontal directions.

This skyscraper is in the shape of a triangular prism, with a triangular pyramid for its roof. Its front two faces – the ones with the windows – are fairly simple and straightforward in their design, but the back face is colorfully ornamented with panels of speckled glass. This building would serve well as an ordinary residential complex.

This skyscraper is named after A. R. J. Turgot (1727-1781), the French classical liberal, laissez-faire economist who attempted to reform the protectionist, mercantilist policies of the 18th-century French monarchy. The cross-section of this building’s front tower is three-quarters of a circle. The cross-section of the middle tower is an isosceles triangle. The main (tallest) tower is an original shape of my own invention, which narrows at the top into a single line segment.

The z-axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system is the vertical axis. A vector in such a coordinate system has both a magnitude and a direction. This skyscraper is a z-vector over a kilometer in height and pointing still farther upward, to encourage men to continually create more, better, and higher things. The roof of this building is meant to serve as the vector’s arrow. This directional indicator can also be taken metaphorically to imply the necessity of continued progress as well as literally to suggest the desirability of colonizing other worlds and intensifying efforts at space exploration.
