Inside the first self-sustainable city on Mars - by ABIBOO studio
Inside the first self-sustainable city on Mars - by ABIBOO studio
Construction of the city of Nüwa could start in 2054 and will see 250,000 people live inside the rock of a steep cliff. Freeze my body, melt me in 80 years, and send me to Mars. Architecture studio ABIBOO has revealed its plans to create the first self-sustainable city on the Red Planet, which is set to be ready for residents in 2100. The city will be called Nüwa and will be located at Tempe Mensa on one of the Martian cliffs. Its position inside a rock on the steep cliff will protect its residents from radiation and meteorites (cool!) while still giving them

The sophisticated state of play today. (Το εξελιγμένο σήμερα. )
The sophisticated state of play today. (Το εξελιγμένο σήμερα. )
The future I want to see I don’t want to be technologically and scientifically developed, but to have a big improvement in people’s societies and in how people behave themselves. Only if we succeed in being reconciled and having common goals will we be able to evolve in other areas as well. But if we assume that we will do so, I would like to see a huge development in science, such as physics, chemistry and biologia, and possibly thanks to a large discovery such as a new chemical element or a new invention such as a timeshare, to be able to multiply the knowledge we have and the things we can achieve.
Technology is the fairness of the economy (Η τεχνολογία είναι η δικαιοσύνη της οικονομίας )
Technology is the fairness of the economy (Η τεχνολογία είναι η δικαιοσύνη της οικονομίας )
It would be a future of justice, i.e. equal representation among people. It would also be a fully-fledged technological world with all the aspirations so far for tomorrow. All this could be done with the help of the whole world in every way.
HEALTH AND NATURE PROTECTION. (ΥΓΙΕΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΠΡΟΣΤΑΣΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΦΥΣΗΣ.)
HEALTH AND NATURE PROTECTION. (ΥΓΙΕΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΠΡΟΣΤΑΣΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΦΥΣΗΣ.)
The most important issue for me is environmental protection. The green economy, and in particular the right water management policy, is an absolute priority.
Rather good future (Μάλλον καλό μελλον)

We would like there to be no wars and people could fly
An arm for all (Μια αγκαλιά για όλους )
An arm for all (Μια αγκαλιά για όλους )
One issue that has been on yesterday and today, and I hope that it will change in the future, is injustice. Personally, I do not think that there is any worse thing than people are doomed, saddled on the hinges of success with their health, while others die without even the most basic goods. In my future, all people will have equal rights. Everyone will be able to breathe freely, educate, live, dream and express themselves freely. Also in ideal 2040, economic wealth will not be able to move the world’s twines, and at the same time it will not be able to freeze intellectual values from the foundation they deserve. The scenario of disappearing injustice in the future is particularly optimistic, but it would be a rather pleasant surprise that would potentially reconcile people, peoples, nations and continents and help people dream of a planet that is healthy and open to all.
Collegiality and sustainability (Συλλογικότητα και βιωσιμοτητα)
Collegiality and sustainability (Συλλογικότητα και βιωσιμοτητα)
I want the problem of hunger and access to clean water for all people to be eliminated. That all people are able to work in humane working conditions with pay that meets their needs. I imagine a civilised society that respects and supports, with the support of governments, socially weak groups, respects the environment and animals. A society in which people are not centred but collegiate. Technology will be used positively in this direction.

In the future I believe technology will have evovled a lot, making our lifes much easier. Specifically I believe that there will be robots or machines that will help us with everything and even with our daily tasks.

I think that in order to have a better future we need to focus on the areas where we are sick, so that this future would be improved. But I always want to have a comic element
