Survival

Sea City 2000

I like the idea of advancing the society with some great technological designs known by pyramid shaped floating ship. American architect, Buckminster Fuller who suggested this concept of floating cities has united with another architect Paolo Soleri and produces this art which makes the life most easy in the future. It is basically a water based vessel and the artist has elaborate the life that runs with the use of water only. Like we live in the land constructing buildings and parks and other social organizations, artists here has shown the possibilities of the same life in the water.

A floating vessel made with the use of the advanced technology where every details of the structure are made thoughtfully. The surface of the vessel is covered with the solar cells to produce energy and disc shaped antenna to convert the solar energy into electricity. Inside the pyramid lies the whole city with houses, parks, offices, shops, playground ground, meeting halls, etc. There is no need of cars or vehicles to travel as all these facilities lies within the walking distance. Waste management system has been set up to control the waste. There is also a bridge to connect the land and the water and also a platform or airport to receive light weight cargo. Jobs are also available for the people especially water based jobs like fish Farming, tourisms, finding sea minerals, etc.

In a nutshell, artist has so thoughtfully created this vessel which has fulfilled the every aspect of human necessity by keeping in mind the environmental balance. He has keep in the loop of every detail. Apartments to balconies, parks, greenery, and people on the streets are clearly seen in this picture. It looks like the artist is very well known about the human resources and their demands as he has created this beautiful and well managed small city on the water not the land.
