Description


"Serenity City 1" is a mid-sized community located along a tropical coastline. It is set in an era a few centuries from the present day. The city consists of two rings of structures surrounding a central tiered structure with smaller buildings situated on top. This harbor community is connected to the coast via two causeways. Additional causeways connect all the structures to each other as well as providing some protection from the sea. The land seen in the background is dedicated to agricultural purposes. The nine outer cylindrical buildings are forty-story high arcologies housing most of the community's population. Each arcology has a large open interior space ringed by apartments. The sizable atriums inside are landscaped and each has its own markets, schools, medical facilities, and cultural centers. The nine inner dual-towers are thirty-story high apartment buildings. The central structure has industrial facilities in its lower tier, educational and scientific research facilities in its middle tier, and the major cultural center and governmental offices in its upper tier. A large inter-faith house of worship sits atop the upper tier. The temple is surrounded by nine subsidiary buildings devoted to religious study, pastoral care, and performances of a religious character. "Serenity City 1" was modeled and rendered using TrueSpace 6.6. The trees and banner were added in CorelDraw 12. A bit of rework of the coastal cliff was done using Corel Photo-Paint 12. The lights atop some of the buildings were added using Universe Image Creator 1.63. The inspirations for "Serenity City 1" are the arcology concept of Italian architect Paolo Soleri and the Baha'i World Center located in Haifa, Israel.

Very cool... Of course, my mind immediately goes to the details under the surface of such a arcology... Have you ever been to Soleri's Arcosanti project here in AZ?
