When we were kids, we used to dream of a future where cars could fly, and school trips to the local museum would be replaced by a weekend jaunt to the moon. Unfortunately, the future is a lot like the past. Cars are still very much on the ground, and while some people can go to the moon for fun, tickets tend to be very expensive and in short supply. Still, we can dream of that magical future – and with the power of Minecraft, we can even pretend that we live in a very blocky version of it!
当我们还是孩子的时候，我们曾幻想着在未来的某一天，汽车能够在天空中飞行，学校组织的去当地博物馆的旅游将被周末的月球短途旅行所代替。不幸的是，未来与过去一样，汽车仍然只能在地面上行驶，即便有的人可以去月球玩，但门票往往非常贵，而且通常有价无市。尽管如此，我们仍旧能够梦想着那个神奇的未来 - 凭借Minecraft的力量，我们甚至能够假装自己生活在一个方块构成的世界里！
Nova Celes is a city of the future, and it's the work of French team Quantics Build . Their creative collective began as a group of friends playing Minecraft together on a private server, but thanks to their love for the game and their skill at building (some members of the team are even architects in real life) they quickly became professional Minecraft builders, and thus Quantics Build was born. Nova Celes 是一个来自未来的城市，这是法国Quantics Build团队的杰作。他们成立的初期是一群在私人服务器里一起玩Minecraft的朋友，但由于他们对游戏的热爱，以及他们的建筑能力（团队中的一些成员甚至在现实生活中也是建筑师），他们很快就成为了专业的Minecraft建筑师，因此Quantics Build诞生了。
Being an architect is serious work though, but Minecraft was a place for them to enjoy when their day jobs were too boring. "The problem with architecture is that some constraints restrain our creativity, which is different in Minecraft," the team said when we asked them how they turned their real-life jobs into a Minecraft job. "The game offers a limitless world, allowing us to push our creativity to its maximum." Real architecture doesn't usually involve Nether Portals and solid gold blocks, it's true – although that's probably a safety thing.
建筑师是一项严肃的工作，而Minecraft则是他们工作太无聊时一个休闲的地方。“建筑的问题在于，一些条件限制了我们的创造力，这与在Minecraft中不一样。”当我们问他们是如何将自己现实生活中的工作融入Minecraft中的工作时，他们说“这个游戏给我们提供了一个毫无限制的世界，使得我们能够将自己的创造力发挥的淋漓尽致。”现实中的建筑通常情况下可不会用下界传送门或者坚固的金块，这是可以确定的 - 尽管这可能还蛮安全的。
Nova Celes is one of their latest projects, and it's a cyberpunk-style city that draws a lot of inspiration from movies like Blade Runner. We've seen a lot of cyberpunk builds in the Minecraft world lately, like this neon factory-filled city build from 2021 . So what is it about cyberpunk that builders love so much?
Nova Celes是他们最新的一个项目之一，这是一个赛博朋克风格的城市，它从《银翼杀手》等电影中汲取了不少灵感。我们最近在Minecraft的世界中看到了许多赛博朋克风格的建筑，比如这个2021霓虹灯工厂城市。究竟是什么让建筑师们对赛博朋克爱不释手呢？
"The idea was to build a city hosting different districts and cultures," Quantics Build tells us, "all of it grouped around a financial center." The cyberpunk theming came as a result of finding inspiration in movies and art, and Quantics Build decided that they wanted to make their own take on the aesthetic.
“我们的想法是建造一个拥有不同地区和文化的城市，”Quantics Build团队告诉我们，“所有的东西都围绕着一个经济中心建立。”采用赛博朋克风格是从电影和艺术作品中寻找灵感的结果，而Quantics Build团队决心对美学做出属于他们自己的诠释
"The city hosts in its walls diverse cultures, each influencing the cyberpunk architecture, making every district unique with its big holograms." Each district, from the Video Games Quarter to the Aquatic Quarter, has its own colors, style, shapes, and lighting, offering up a ton of different ways to experience the city's futuristic architecture. In the center of the circle of buildings are the tallest skyscrapers, made entirely out of white blocks, creating beautiful shell-like shapes on the city's skyline.
“这座城市的城墙承载着的每种不同的文化，都影响着建筑的赛博朋克风格，这使得每个地区都有独特的的大全息图。”从游戏视频区到水上区，每种都有属于自己的颜色、风格、形状和光照，使得有很多种不同的方式来体验城市的未来风格建筑。在建筑群的中心是一座完全由白色方块勾成的白色摩天大楼，它在城市的天际线上显示出了美丽的贝壳状
The city isn't just beautiful from a distance, either. It took Quantics Build six months to finish Nova Celes, and a lot of that was adding the tiny details that bring the city to life: Using rails to represent air conditioners, trapdoors to create ventilation systems, neon signs made out of end rods... and unlike a lot of builds that we cover on this here Minecraft website, the interiors are also fully furnished.
Quantics Build团队花了六个月时间才完成的Nova Celes不仅从远处看十分美丽，其中还有一些小小的细节使这座城市看起来更加栩栩如生：例如用铁轨表示空调，使用活板门来创造通风系统，用末地烛制成霓虹灯标牌......和其他我们从其他Minecraft网站找来的大部分地图不一样，它的内部设施也建的很齐全。
"Builders tend to forget about interiors," the team says, "especially when it's about a futuristic theme!" But not Quantics Build. Over 300 building interiors were added during the six-month process, and it wasn't easy. "We learned lots of lessons about town planning," the team admits. "We sometimes created too dense districts... we sometimes had trouble adding coherent interiors in some buildings." But over the course of six months, the greatest lesson they learned wasn't "how to make sure this office building has enough toilets" – it was how to work as a team. "In the Quantics Build team we are all friends, and that greatly helped with the success of the project." Aww!
“建筑师们往往会忘记室内设计，”这个团队说，“特别是涉及未来风格的建筑时！但毕竟他们不是Quantics Build。”他们在六个月的时间里，给300多栋建筑加上了内部结构，这并不容易。“我们从城市规划中学到了很多经验，”这个团队说，“我们有时会把地区造的太密集...有时我们在给一些建筑内部添加连贯的内部结构时会遇到一些问题。”但是在这六个月的时间里，他们得到最大的教训不是“怎样确保这个办公楼有足够多的撤硕” - 而是团队合作。“在Quantics Build团队中，大家都是朋友，这也对这个项目的成功提供了不少帮助。”啊♂！
Since this build is a futuristic build, it seems only fitting to ask Quantics Build what message they have for the people of the future, who will hopefully be reading this piece for many years to come, and looking upon their works. It's not just Nova Celes that they built together, after all – you should check out all their other builds, from the ethereally spooky Lord of Time to their incredible challenge map, Eldham Castle .
由于这个建筑是一个未来风格的建筑，所以当我们问Quantics Build团队他们对未来的人想表达什么时，他们希望在未来很多年后来阅读他们的文章，然后来看看他们的作品。不仅Nova Celes是他们一起建造的 - 你还应该去看看他们其他的所有建筑，从时间之王开始看吧
At the end of the day, Quantics Build wants their work to be appreciated. "We hope that people will notice the amount of work and the involvement in our different builds," they tell us, proudly. "We are true passionates, and we're trying to show it through our creations." All I'll say is that, if the future ends up being half as pretty as Nova Celes, it'll be a future worthy of our dreams. Although I still haven't given up on that flying car.
在完工那天，Quantics Build团队希望他们的作品能够受到别人的赞赏。“我们希望人们能注意到它的工作量，并参与到我们不同的建筑中来，”他们很自豪的告诉我们，“我们正在试图通过我们的作品来展现我们真正的激情。”但我想说的是，只要未来最终的样子有Nova Celes一半漂亮，那都足够我们去期盼了。但我仍然惦记着我那辆会飞的汽车。
