Buildings, houses etc
« on: December 02, 2021, 12:26:16 PM »
So you want to live on a spaceship ?

Well, it can be done … you just need an imaginative architect & a skilled builder ... & money.
Many spaceships are just realistically too big to build on Earth but there are a few that are possible & affordable.

While quite expensive, the 2001 Space Odyssey "Aries" Moon-lander is do-able within larger budgets.

The Space 1999 "Eagle" transporter would make a nice small home for a reasonable budget.  Like many short-stay tourist parks, you could even use shipping containers as a basis.

Install the utilities & foundation pads on your land as usual so your neighbours don’t suspect then build modules off-site & silently crane it in during the dark of night ….. in the morning neighbours wake up to a spaceship next door !!

My favourite old site is The VENUS PROJECT.  Many sci-fi buildings, high-rise, private homes & undersea cities.  Unfortunately most of Fresco's designs are not on the site anymore.  Fresco was an aerospace engineer as well as a cyber-sociologist & many other things -- his buildings, could all have been built with 1960s technology.  Tho his giant construction-machines, submarines, super-trains etc will only become possible perhaps after the next 50+ years.

Parts of the interior of the StarTrek NG Enterprise look very nice for my "future house" :-*

In a somewhat similar vein was The Millennial Project by Marshall T. Savage:



And in particular the "Aquarius" chapter with floating cities:

A few of Fresco's designs, some are bit too 1950s but others are still good today.
