New Master Plan and Residential Towers

These drawings illustrate how it would feel like to walk through the paths that hug around the towers. The bigger towers are the housings units, and the smaller ones represent other spaces such as retail.

Urban Concepts and the Ant Hill + Midterm Stuff

Residential Tower detail showing living units and terrace/vegetation sections.

Section and background details of a dense area of the lunar colony. This allows for a better understanding of the 3d qualities of our design.

Model of living unit within the city residential towers.

Example of how models form and create architectural space that allows for adaptability and comfort.

Santorini, Greece is a good example that relates to our city design. The sprawl on the cliffsides resembles our "fungus" type growth of our city.

Another section with exterior form and structure


Concept sketch of a section of our city. It reveals the solids and voids that make up the different functions of a city.

This diagram illustrates a possible plan of our city. The thickened lines represent towers or highter areas of the city. These areas could house the inhabitants of the city, or function as a a means of transportation. The areas below these towers would house the vital program of the city such as industrial, agricultural, and research facilities.

Sample ant hills and colonies




This is a quick 3d diagram we made to study possible transportation connections.


This video shows possible sections of our lunar colony plan design which was derived from the structure and function of an ant hill.
