Atlas City Project

I just banged this up tonight. I'm not really much of an artist but I had tunnel vision tonight on an aspect of a bare bones model of what the core could look like. This is by all mean not a bare all, end all scheme of the center core. Primarily, I created this so that people can have their imagination sparked. So think of this is a very bare bones model and we can experiment from there. This is something we can definitely expand on:

Here's a little more cleaner drawing I did of it on my computer.

The geometry I just thought of represents that of the human eye. The iris and the pupil. But again, this is just a rough concept. Let the brainstorming begin.

This is very cool! A great starting point we should talk about what kind of things the center point of the city might be used for and what it might contain. It could be a university/hospital and the distribution center would have to be rather central. Goods would have to be distributed. Imagine little robots delivering your groceries to your front door

maybe it would be a floating platform that follows a predetermined path? anyways just brainstorming but I should be sleeping lol

Here is my idea, sort of a variation off of Brad's. I apologize for the bad quality. I had to make it really quickly.

I am liking the ideas. Maybe if you had that setup but with the buildings separate with room for growth?

Yes, that was my original intention. Sorry I didn't convey it but yes that is my idea too. I think things will change a lot. If there really will be an athletic university, I'm sure it will be bigger than all the others. After all it would swimming pools, fields, etc...

Maybe the core of the city should be attributed to true human grow

physical being the sports field etc.
meta physical being the humanities/ spiritual
intellectual being the science end of things


all around the medical university/hospital in the middle

what do you think?

I was thinking something along the lines of maybe a meeting area in the middle of the city, in which you can participate in activities, watch movies, listen to music, later on some sort of amusement park.

Exactly! That was my idea on the map!

That is a good idea, but the reason the hospital is in the center is because of its nature to help people. No matter where you reside in the city, the hospital is always the same distance; saving lives will be easier.

Here's my design in 3D using Sketchup:



The designation of the buildings in my design is that the hospital would be the center left, center and center right buildings that could be expanded upon growth and the north and south buildings would be the hospital. I'm going to see if I can come up with some middle section designs tonight in sketchup as well.

Are we thinking like domocile complexes for living environment or houses that are not connected with each other?

I know this is a bit half-assed but
