The overall size of the dome has been reduced from 25 miles in diameter to 2.5 miles in diameter in an attempt to create a much more realistic amount of space that would exsist under the dome for a colony of 10,000 people.
Programmatic elements include:
Residential housing types for 10,000
Public places including: Visitors center, Cultural center, Hydroponic growing facilities,
Recreation/Fitness, and a K-8 school onsite.
The Civil buildings include a Courthouse/penal system building.
Industrial Facilities [mining and ISRU Facilities]
Commercial Facilities [small shopping areas]
Transportation facilities [electric car stations]\
Healthcare [hospital]
Farming/Hydroponics
Livestock [engineered livestock]
Religious [multi-denominational church]
Infrastructural [subterranean mining/factories]
Here are some preliminary sketches that we will further develop into a full-on Lunar Master plan.
This plan is a general geometric layout in an attempt to establish fractal elements within something that might eventually be considered an urban plan. These are simply to establish the idea of the fractal elements, they wont be used in our Lunar Colony master plan.
This concept is being considered a little more seriously. While the simple staggering of the modules can be used to create an organizational plan of sorts, we will use a much clearer mode of organization that isn't quite so random and that will estabilsh a clearer hierarchy within the colony limits.
This diagram is using the same method that was used in the previous diagram, only a color pattern was assigned to specific layers in order to create more depth within the individual layers. This was an attempt to take this methods product and create something more three-dimensional using a color pattern.
We will continue to develop this and other ideas... stay tuned.
