Repairing an Air Protein Fin in Superior City City workers conduct the operation of construction A.N.T.s (Autonomous Networked Things) as they repair a carbon capture coil near Superior City. The line between work and play is at best a fuzzy affair in Central Shield. Every citizen is expected to participate as a member of the Central Shield’s Civic Corps. Duties run the range from simple park maintenance to more complicated activities like construction and engineering of the megastructures. In exchange for their contribution to the well being of the city, the S.A.B reimburses each citizen for their efforts with a biweekly civic dividend (a form of universal basic income). This dividend is calculated such that those with the lightest duties and time commitments receive a generous living wage while those who commit more time and expertise are rewarded with larger payments. #SpeculativeDesign #SolarPunk #Biomimetics #Swarm #3dPrinting #architecture #engineering #robotics #AI #Ants #termites #carboncapture #airprotein #artificialmuscles #simulation #designfiction #FutureParfait #CentralShield #MarcNgui #LakeSuperior #ubi @cphfutures @instituteforthefuture @mcewenarchitecture @wevolver @cornelluniversity (at Terrace Bay, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNelLFpcE5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
