During the pre-production phase of ALITA, I had the opportunity to explore a few of Iron City's suspended pipe mazes. The image above showcases Alita's escape from the MotorBall Stadiu. The world of Iron City was an interesting creative crash between cyber-tech and Havana architectural features which allowed for rich material breakups and complexe color palettes.
