The Prometheus Mission
The project not only serves as the first human settlement, but also a monument about the present, the future, and the past of human collective memory, culture, and legacy. It embodies timelessness and celebrates the use of speculative technology. It serves as a constant reminder of the essential purpose of technology and our connection with the universe.

Deep concept. Philosophical, visionary, and speculative. Love it!!
This visionary project transcends conventional architectural paradigms, intertwining the epochs of human existence within its structural narrative. By enshrining collective memory, it fosters a dialogue between past legacies and future aspirations. Philosophically, it challenges our perceptions of temporality, emphasizing technology not as an end but as a means to connect more profoundly with the cosmos. The endeavor resonates with the essence of Heidegger’s 'Building Dwelling Thinking', suggesting architecture as a space where humanity and universe meet. In this monument, we are invited to reflect on our place in time and space, celebrating both our technological advancements and our timeless human spirit.
Wow, thanks for your comment, it is very profound. I had never thought of Heidegger's quote when working on this project, but his "Die Frage nach der Technik" has influenced me a lot, leading me to reflect on technology in this project as a cosmology rather than a being itself. Thanks again for this comment
