According to the UN, 68% of the world’s population is projected to live in urban areas by 2050. It is time for us to rethink how we occupy our planet and explore new areas beyond the ones we are used to. Hermeticity is an experimental study of colonizing extreme environments while leaving a reduced footprint.
The Proposal
The proposal envisions a new type of habitat that meets the basic needs of human life taking place in harsh environments. Growing upwards instead of horizontally saves resources and energy. It reduces the impact on the surrounding ecosystem by keeping all the activities concentrated over the same core.
The Towers
Each tower works as a vertical city. Throughout its height, spaces with different functions can be found including housing units, public spaces, green areas, shops, drone stations, leisure and sports facilities, labs, offices, schools, medical units, recycling stations, power plants, hydroponic, and algae farms.
