Large cranes and an intricate web of railways could transport and drop the units into the network

Modular residential units to literally plug into the system

Machines and technology that was based on infinite supplies and hyper-consumption

However, “the purpose of Marine City is neither intended to enlarge the land nor to escape from the land,” but ‘Marine City’ is instead considered a new urban archetype for living on the sea

Nature plays a key role in many of the cities that Marco describes. One example is that of Isaura, a “city of the thousand wells” built over a deep lake, where “the inhabitants dig long vertical holes in the ground and succeed in drawing up water, as far as the city extends.”

Thesis

My car is an unflippable that works in the fields of all terrian, rescue or recover, and any natural disaster situation. The idea is that it can also be moving. I got this insipration from fire nation tanks from Avatar the Last Airbender, the show, I also got it from it being diffucult to navigate reckage from storms and hurricanes.The name comes from the fact that it would always have wheels on the ground such came Infinity Grounded.

Thesis

I envisioned that the world won't change much in the near future, our lifestyle won't change much. However, due to climate change, I wanted to design a vehicle that relies on full electricity to reduce carbon emission. Another major function is to have it being capable of getting into collisions, so that the number of car accidents will be reduced as well.

Problem Statement:

Inspiration

• Inspired by red blood cells
• Flow through our body fast
• Have great oxygen capacity
• Super efficient
• Malleable

Aren't they the best example for future transit!!?

Map of the City

City of Taichung!!

• It’s divided into the center and the suburbs
• The center is full of commercial buildings
• People’s houses, schools, grocery stores… etc. are in the suburbs

Description: 

• Looks like a red blood cell
• Private-owned
• Fully automated
• Electric
• Malleable/buoyant
• Four seaters
• Seats face each other

Drawings of the Red Cells V2

Storyboard based on my first idea

Modification:

• Instead of the boxy look, it’s going to look like rbcs

Modification:

• Instead of being driven on open roads, there’ll be transparent tunnels/tubes
