Slum City
Challenge to visualize slums of 2080
Provided that the technical criteria state, “Try to express through design/engineering how the city is self‑sufficient for humans underwater,” I’m wondering whether that is the only environment we are permitted to design for. Are alternative conditions—such as desert environments or underground scenarios—also acceptable?
Good question. Underwater is the scenario the brief centres on, but it is not the only one: alternative extreme conditions such as desert or underground settings are also acceptable. Whichever environment you choose, the design should still demonstrate through design and engineering how the city is self-sufficient for humans in that condition.
