Imagine cities encircling the globe that would configure themselves to these fractals so that when one ventured into space one would have a home that is beautiful to come back to and live in for all aspects of existence:    


Mandelbrot Set              and          Julia Set

The cities would be organized using molecular structure as blueprints so connected dome and spheriod shapes would be the norm.   Half house half oxygen producing, food producing greenhouse.  Creating a sustainable standard for food travel time.

St. Francis of Assisi Primary School  Biosphere


Tropical fruits could be cultivated in colder climates because of these massive dome (geotangent) green houses that again would be constructed using molecules as blueprints.  This particular structure resembles water.

Maybe these domes are to be the future of architecture on this planet as they use 30% fewer material resources to cover the same amount of space as a square building.  And they look kinda cool too.

These could be the homes and businesses...

Cal Earth Domes




These domes can be built in under a day, cost $41,000, and are 90% more energy efficient than a conventioanl dwelling.

One could even incorporate the two with homes attached to greenhouses growing food or decorative plants





these are known as Earthships   www.earthship.org www.earthship.com  www.earthshipbiotecture.com


Or have the trees growing around encircling the house


while plants are grown inside as well.

One could incorporate plants and trees into every aspect of everyday life.  Fast food resaurants could have tropical gardens to eat in.  Homes again could also have tropical gardens.  All businesses would be required to have enough flora inside and outside to provide oxygen and air cleaning power to equalize the amount of pollution they were responsible for.

All polluting industries would be placed in large domes and biological tools would be used to get rid of pollution using indoor constructed wetlands and algae scrubbers.    www.oceanarks.org

Oh, to see spheres and greenroofs instead of square and grey EVERYTHING. I was talking in an archaeology class about how future generations would think we worshipped the square or something as a heavenly symbol for how often you see it in everything and how little I think this kind of design will play a part in future production, and today it's claimed to be for function but anyone into architecture I talk to says that it is not in fact the best utilization of space but that instead a sphere or more biological/natural forms are. Do you think that's true?

Great stuff! I am absolutely 100 percent behind everything imagined here. We need to further our progress in all of these fields; progression with the technology and making them more available to those that know little about it. With that, everyone can partake in building the future that mankind is in debt to Mother Nature and our blue planet.
