Progress – The train stations, multi-level lane system, blocks of cars and new views

Hi João,

Thank your very much for the comments and for the kind words.

We need to use this great opportunity to create, to make our best "architectural" dreams come true in the form of cities, buildings, images and emotions. If you think you need to reformulate, go for that....This is the right time! Go, go! :)

AndriusSkibaris Hi Andrius,

It´s good to "see" you around. Those are some of my concerns from the begining...One of the main points of my conceptual city is having big parks and a carefully planned layout so there will always be large spaces between the relevant buildings. Never, big mess of stuff, I hope! :) ....That´s why I keep rendering that aereal view of the whole city. I belive the human eye and more specifically the artist´s eye is trained to locate harmony and randomization...my goal is planning the city with a harmonic(beatiful landscaping and buildings) randomization (all the diversity which, together, forms a city). Thanks for the comments!

Also, are you going to add some low-rise buidlings / houses ... or do you go all they way with HIGH-RISE city and big parks below... a la corbu?

ronenbekerman Hi Ronen,

What an exciting challenge! The theme is so vast and there are so many different interpretations. Congrats!

There will be regular cars on the ground level, the floating/flying cars and the trains. The multi-level lane system adds the third dimension to the traffic. It takes the regular concept of street to a three level system. There is the asphalt for the regular cars and the whole mesh of streets works as a big electro-magnetic field so the cars and trains float at different heights. They can´t fly like helicopters or planes, they float at their specific heights. The concept takes the "Maglev" idea to a new level and takes in consideration more advanced technologies. The year is 2100.

I´ve been doing brainstorms about the size of the buildings...The big parks are a very important part of the concept, every block/quarter will be like an emtpy lawn and the buildings will seat on top of it. That will help to make a soft transition from the concrete/glass/steel of the buildings to the streets and leave space for different walkways and gardens. I like the idea of having low-rises and houses too. That´s another type of visual transition from the high-rises to the urban space. Let´s see what happens! Sorry for the long post! Thanks!

davidbutterworth Thanks, David. This challenge is very exciting!

cristobalena Yes...that´s the idea with the points of view. I would like everybody to have information to understand the whole concept and its details. Thanks, Cristo.
