These are some initial drawings I did in class. They are just quick sketches of some of the ideas I'm thinking and what I may want to feature in my design. The image below is of a green corridor. The green corridors will be throughout the design and will have vegetation throughout. The plants should be able to grow in smaller amounts of soil by then and people can feel like they are walking in a garden.
Obviously I will need to get U.V light into these corridors to feed the plants with sunlight. I think the system to do this will be through some sort of shaft idea where sunlight can penetrate into the underground space in various locations through small shafts. These shafts will have some sort of reflection system within and at the bottom so when the light reaches the bottom, they relay the light to some mirrors which spread the light through the underground spaces; giving the plants the light they need.
The drawing above shows the green corridor and the dwellings on either side. The people have vegetation growing all around them as they walk along the paths. Another important idea at the moment is the ventilation corridors seen to the far left and far right of the drawing. These corridors will hold all the light and water and other services and will act as a wind tunnel to feed the breeze into peoples home for a sort of natural ventilation.
