Sim City 2000


I´m not sure if this is legal but here I present a game that was released in 1993 called Sim City 2000. It´s about city planning and urbanism and is quite entertaining when you have time to waste

THE WORLD IS CHANGING

In our discussion of ever changing transport infrastructures: from feet to carts to trains, autos and planes. MVRDV's " Skycar City"was mentioned as a possible future path for infrastructure. This is an interesting investigation as people are working in this direction. Note Moller Skycars (link)

Inspirerende; Øresundsvisioner 2040, fra 70°N arkitektur






















Mosaïc::region has been awarded 1st prize in the competition arranged by RealDania about ideas for the future in the Øresund region!The project is a collaboration between 70°N arkitektur as, Dahl & Uhre arkitekter as and a broad panel of guest experts. (link)

Mosaïc::region handlar om att upptäcka och värdesätta, - det handlar om hur landskapet måste upptäckas igen och igen, och hur planen kan förbereda de framtider vi ännu inte vet något om. Det handlar om en metod och en struktur som öppnar upp i stället för att framställa färdiga bilder, och det handlar om att skapa handlingsrum där de stora framtidsutmaningarna är möjliga att lösa.Sårbarhetskartläggning är en bricka i vår anti-generiska tänkning där mångfald och diversitet är avgörande, och där mosaikens unika styrka ska odlas och förädlas. Självsagt gäller detta för att bevara och styrka en mångfaldig natur, men det gäller likafullt de sociotoper som av olika grunder är utsatt för ekonomisk och politisk press och omdanning. Mosaik-betraktningarna räddar inte ett försvinnande landskap men försökerskapa nätverk för det kommande, och så sett laddas landskapet med ny energi. (link)

BEYOND THE SCHLOCK



















"Flashbacks are a thing of the past." But that should not stop us thinking systematically about the future as it readies us to shape it more effectively.

GROW YOUR OWN ARCHITECTURE

FAB TREE HAB
Living Graft Prefab Structure

"Our dwelling is composed with 100% living nutrients. Here traditional anthropocentric doctrines are overturned and human life is subsumed within the terrestrial environs. Home, in this sense, becomes indistinct and fits itself symbiotically into the surrounding ecosystem."

BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS



AirJelly houses two lithium-ion polymer accumulator batteries rated at 8 V and 400 mA, which can be completely charged in half an hour and are AirJelly's sole source of power. A connected central electric drive unit transmits the force to a bevel gear wheel and then to eight spur gears in sequence. These gears power eight shafts, each of which activates a crank; these in turn move the jellyfish's eight tentacles. Each tentacle is designed as a structure with Fin Ray Effect®- a construction derived from the functional anatomy of a fish's fin. The actual structure consists of two alternating tension and pressure flanks movable connected by ribs. If a flank is subjected to pressure, the geometrical structure automatically bends in the direction of the applied force. Together, the tentacles produce a peristaltic forward motion similar to that of their biological model.
