Walking was the primary form of transportation, which was aided by a network of pedestrian walkways, elevators, and lifts. 

-No Private transportation

-Living, working, and public spaces are in close proximity 

-Solar energy

Large cranes and an intricate web of railways could transport and drop the units into the network

Modular residential units to literally plug into the system

Machines and technology that was based on infinite supplies and hyper-consumption

Nature plays a key role in many of the cities that Marco describes. One example is that of Isaura, a “city of the thousand wells” built over a deep lake, where “the inhabitants dig long vertical holes in the ground and succeed in drawing up water, as far as the city extends.”

Many structures are totally illegible or have completely ambiguous functions, like a surreal zeppelin-like structure made from scrap material aimlessly hovering in the sky.

Thesis

My car is an unflippable that works in the fields of all terrian, rescue or recover, and any natural disaster situation. The idea is that it can also be moving. I got this insipration from fire nation tanks from Avatar the Last Airbender, the show, I also got it from it being diffucult to navigate reckage from storms and hurricanes.The name comes from the fact that it would always have wheels on the ground such came Infinity Grounded.

Thesis

I envisioned that the world won't change much in the near future, our lifestyle won't change much. However, due to climate change, I wanted to design a vehicle that relies on full electricity to reduce carbon emission. Another major function is to have it being capable of getting into collisions, so that the number of car accidents will be reduced as well.

Problem Statement:

Inspiration

• Inspired by red blood cells
• Flow through our body fast
• Have great oxygen capacity
• Super efficient
• Malleable

Aren't they the best example for future transit!!?

Map of the City

City of Taichung!!

• It’s divided into the center and the suburbs
• The center is full of commercial buildings
• People’s houses, schools, grocery stores… etc. are in the suburbs

Drawings of the Red Cells V1

Description: 

• Looks like a red blood cell
• Private-owned
• Fully automated
• Electric
• Malleable/buoyant
• Four seaters
• Seats face each other

Storyboard based on my first idea

Modification:

• Instead of the boxy look, it’s going to look like rbcs

Modification:

• Instead of being driven on open roads, there’ll be transparent tunnels/tubes
