A DOMED CITY and Esports destination
Middle East
A domed city destination in the Middle East. This urban “Collective" was created to take advantage of the latest technologies in AI, environmental XR, and sustainable infrastructure. This rough blue sky concept integrates living, working, and playing in a sustainable environmental enclosure. The dome structure is ETFE planes segmented and suspended (Like a suspension bridge) from the enhanced superstructures of the towers, allowing for the largest covered environment ever built.
The interior is divided into districts and neighborhoods which physically, but not visually, segregate the residential and public amenities. The interior is designed vertically with public and entertainment areas at grade levels, residences, offices and institutions on the upper levels, and infrastructure, vehicular circulation, parking, and back of house on the below grade levels.
The interior landscape features hanging gardens, urban farming, parks, amphitheaters, lakes, waterfalls, caverns, islands and more.
Unlike any other city, the vast interior spaces are transformable though state of the art surface embedded led systems, projection, and XR environmental technologies. AR overlays the entirety of the program offering way finding, information, advertising, communication, and entry into transformable enhanced environments. Retail, dining, and entertainment will be enhanced by the endless environmental and experiential variation.
The interior and exterior water systems are captured by using the dome surface as a collection system (rainwater and condensation), and wind hydro-reclamation, and circulates as a cooling water features throughout. Massive subterranean aqua cisterns store water below grade and process it for multiple uses.
