Ziggurat – City of the future

With its sharp angles and its glass walls shimmering in the sunlight  it looks like a piece of modern art.

But this innovative design is actually a blueprint for the city of the future – a giant glass pyramid that could house up to one million people.

The development, named the ‘Ziggurat‘, will be self sufficient and carbon neutral with power being supplied by wind turbines.

No cars will be allowed inside the 2.3 square kilometre building, with residents being whisked around by a monorail network which operates both horizontally and vertically.

Security in the city will be provided by biometrics with residents relying on facial recognition to enter their homes.

Dubai based designer Timelinks has already patented the design and technology incorporated into the project. They have also applied to the European Union for a grant to carry out more work on the project.

Ziggurat communities can be almost totally self-sufficient energy-wise. Apart from using steam power in the building we will also employ wind turbine technology to harness natural energy resources.

Storyteller’s creed

..or a marketer’s wet dream.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts, that hope always triumphs over experience, that laughter is the only cure for grief, and that love is stronger than death.

Thanks Timea for bringing this up. :)

Where will I be in 2070

Most likely dead, but if I’ll still be alive I’ll enjoy life skating and living in an igloo on Earth’s biggest island.  Considering the fact that some scientists claim we’ve reach the arctic climate tipping point, this scenario is not so far from happening.
