“We never change things by fighting the existing reality.

To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” (Bucky Fuller)

The point is, you have to learn how to expect change.

And how to step into the future without pain.

Inside the New CIty

And how long would it take to build these cities?

I would say it would take about, approximately,

10 years to change the surface of the earth,

with multiple dikes and joint machines.

Not brick layers and plasterisms.

High tech systems, about 10 years.

We got the cities all over the world.

But what we would have to level most of the old cities,

and mining them for steel, glass, whatever we can get from it.

After we level a cities

we might keep a few cities as museum cities,

to show people what people used to live in.

And to show kids of the future what the world used to be,

just as a piramid that we preserved.

This is inside the new city. And you see it around?

This is just where people live.

Flowers, gardens. No slums. No street people. No hungry people.

Hi. My name is Andrew Buxton, i’m the co-founder of The Venus Project Design,

with my partner Julita Wielgat.

We started each working for The Venus Project 2 years ago,

and to help them develop the physical models that Jacque has done for all his life,

with Roxanne, into 3D CGI for use in the future films and media.

We would say building up the global database of scientists and technicians, engineers, architects, etc.

which we intent to use an up-to-date,

if any countries or if there is a global move towards a resource-based economy,

then we will be in the position to be able to help, build teams globally,

to begin the design of the first cities.

In Ancient Rome they have to use a lot of columns to support the structure.

And you can have a structure way out without any braces or anything.

But the old architecture is, you got a, it looks bad, you put some braces there.

You don’t need them anymore.

The old airplanes have braces all over the place.

Now the wings are though enough to hold themselves down.

But if you claim to the romantic concepts of the German house, Swedish house,

you know where all the lines are, or English architecture, then you’re dead.

You are living the life of a dead person, that influenced you at school.

Let’s now do architecture that is relevant to the best of new materials.
