The Neglected Realm of the Earth

St Denis, located in France, is arguably Europe’s first Gothic Church [1140-1144 AD]. It is poetic that this image should be used to represent a new way of life, for our future. If one were to take this image and transform it into something else - architectonically, what might one arrive at. If it was the first of its kind - it is fitting that it shall be used to create the first Neglected Realm of the Earth...

...a new underground way of city life.

We then mirror the image again - creating a hive like space. How might this new space benefit humanity. If one looks closely, one will see how this new architecture might be inhabited.

An image of a NEW DOWNTOWN CITY has been superimposed beneath the arches.

A new underground way of city life.

The close-up detail of the city.. nestled in between the arches may be required someday. It is conceivable that this environment will be necessary on this planet or on another astral body. If not necessary, then p e r h a p s preferred. Construction methods exist today for creating this life beneath the earth. And w h y shouldn't it be undertaken ...why not explore this Neglected Realm of TERRA FIRMA.
