EREBUS

Q: What type of design project is "EREBUS"?

"EREBUS" is a Urban Design, Media Architecture, Sustainable Design, Urban Planning project showcased on uni.xyz.

The Erebus project conceives the colonization of the asteroid belt by proposing the installation of a habitable orbital station called Erebus and a robotic surface settlement called Hades. The orbital station will be comprised of three toroidal spacecraft that will be relieved one at a time each year and a half, avoiding isolation.

THE FORGE

Located on the asteroid belt, an asteroid mining station set in the near future is home to a community of asteroid miners. Our design takes a systematic approach to settlement design at a building and urban scale. We propose an adaptive aggregated system based on complex rules to determine the arrangement of typologies in four dimensional space.

Ceres Umbrella Mining City

Asteroid mining is not only necessary to supplement the limited resources on earth from other celestial bodies, but also for human migration to the moon and Mars, and even for the expansion to deep space. We believe that the coexistence and cooperation between robots and humans is essential for such asteroid mining. Therefore, we have designed a mining facil
