yeh this could work em. im thinkin more greenery tho...the natural balance and harmony of life was established along time b4 technology so mayb we could mask some of the the business and residential areas in complete green vegetated walls and enclosures....rly push the boundary, mayb even work on the idea of an ecosystem going underground (hobbit style) and burrowing further down towards the earths core...it is concept and based on some of the other ideas we've seen i generally think its important that it look strong metaphorically and conceptually. im thinkin layers as well as the bubbles you set out, e.g residentaial higher up in the sky (kind of like that pic on the front our design course outline...n i kno u'l hate this but you kno how corb worked with gardens and houses in the sky...he's idea failed miserably but if we push it further it mite work conceptually.
