Unreal 5 rendering that depicts the architectural history of America's Harvey House program and geological education about the Anthropocene epoch.

"Somewhere in the South Dakota Badlands, out near enhanced geothermal fields, cross country train passengers take their overnight rest at an Arcadian hotel. The eco-brutalist Harvey House that sits at the shore of the newly minted shallow sea - harbinger of the Anthropocene. Guests staying at the New Harvey House, arrive at platform 29 via elevated train and embark on a 1/2 mile trek through eroded badlands terrain and geyser fields. After passing through the hotel’s gatehouse the guests arrive at their lodgings. While a place for rest and connection with nature, the hotel’s vast halls hold spectacular secrets that will dazzle and entertain the most intrepid of guests."

This is an educational project that uses fictional renderings to showcase the history of North America geology, architectural brutalism and American rail architecture history. No profit is being generated, and this project is historical fiction.
