Green Gardens in Space: Future Cities

Hey Guys,

Speaking about the Cities of the future here is an idea I came across and developed. As you know I have my own project, but a true artist has such a pound in their heart they must let it flow out:)

These are just crude thumbnails of a story board, but I felt inspired to share it with you. Quite literally a sky rise:)

Check out the history of inflatable space stations:

In this version, which I developed, there is a 3-d garden that grows in zero G. Quite possible; see the studies done with the vomit comet.

For long term space voyages and sustainability this is a really good logical approach. Please excuse the thumbnails since I haven’t drawn in a long time.

The modules on the shaft of the vessel are a combination of atmospheric inflation ballasts, Bio-enrichment growth, recycled sustainment, and hardened quarters for the crew to survive radiation impact from the sun. The outer lightly outlined shell is a film similar to Mylar; easily deployable and provides great volume to the ship, or city :)

Enjoy :)
