SKY HABITAT
2090-2100
ISSUES
Concept of Sky Habitat as a revival goal to turn earth planet into a garden by shifting the human populated habitat to sky level and development of mixed-use space in vertical direction. The levitated habitat allow dream of floating among the clouds above a magical and ever changing cityscape, and fostering a sense of security to the community.

STRATEGIES
Rise of global temperature

Dense population
1
Lower down atmospheric temperature to create a more liveable environment
2
Turn earth surface as a garden for a more resillient community
3
Minimise building footprint by less than half of the planet surface

SKY HABITAT The outer surface bounded with pressurized helium (which is non-combustible). The pressurized gas would give shape to the tailored and stitched fabric shell, creating an open living space within. Made from recycled polyester fabric, the balloon has a large surface area suitable for mounting of flexible solar panels for generating electricity.

LAYERING OF GREENS The tower is layered with green terrace interval levels of programmatic space to promote growth of green in vertical orientation. This planning able to cool down the atmospheric temperature in higher elevation. AUXILIARY & COURIER Security and haulage service depend on self remote drone. This able to reduce human work load and random contact of people to minimise outbreak of pandemic. Commercial
TOWER OF UNITY Arrangement of programmatic space based on social density of human. Social hierarchy formed from more populated to less populared activites from ground to upper levels. The core of the tower consist of high speed elevator as connector from habitat to the ground earth surface.
