Pyramid City Of The Future
When we think ‘pyramids’ we tend to think of dust, Pharaohs, gold, grave-robbing and mummies but, there’s a pioneering design firm in Dubai that believes the pyramid is long overdue a comeback and, not just for the dead. This is the stunning looking Ziggurat, a massive modern pyramid city that not only harks back to the past but will be at the cutting edge of carbon-neutral building. It should also be noted that the Ziggurat will be very, very big - if it ever gets made - measuring 2.3km square and capable of sustaining up to 1 million people. And, since it’s designed to use wind and sun to completely provide its own power, there’ll be enough juice for all your gadgets. The company, Timelinks, argues that the design allows whole cities to be accommodated in complexes which take up less than 10% of the original land surface. Transport within the structure would will be connected both vertically and horizontally so there’ll be no need for cars. Security systems will use biometrics, like facial recognition technology, to make it safer place to live too. Of course, there are issues to be overcome such as waste disposal and the question of whether or not you would like living inside a machine with a million neighbours?
