Living away from extreme weather conditions in the depths of a disused former quarry called eco-polished cutting edge architecture. Would it be possible to have a science fiction movie, but you are wrong: the project "Eco-city 2020" is not part of a Hollywood stage set, but aims to create an entire underground city (real for all purposes) in the former industrial area Mirniy of Siberia.
Inside the huge crater 525 meters deep, left by the excavation of one of the largest quarries in the world, the Russian architects of the study Elis AB Ltd have imagined to build a new type of urban reality: three concentric levels where there are major farms, green areas , residential and recreational areas, the whole surmounted by a giant glass dome completely covered with solar panels capable of producing the energy needed to satisfy the city.
But innovation does not stop there science fiction. In addition to hyper funicular, to ensure the movement of over 100,000 people planned, we think the heart of the settlement where they provided most of the vertical links, infrastructure and a multi-level research center. A project is very innovative and certainly impressive, but nevertheless raises some concerns: first of all, the true status "sustainable" city.
According to some fact to really make an urban space biocompatible "not enough" to harness solar energy, but we need to create a relationship of exchange with the external environment should not only from the point of view, but also psychologically. As it does not feel comfortable refuge while prisoners in a "vacuum" we would live in a city you amazing technology, but sealed off from nature?
