    urban segregation : social reintegration... the final hurdle

    By bcu

    Its been a while.......

    So the charting of this new way of living continues a pace... since the last entry i have decided to concentrate on the Choleric quadrant of the division and work up how i see these people living their lives and test the assumption that it would be better if we were all split as a people like this....

    So the story... the Choleric people are resourceful, strong willed, aggressive and independent, after a period of fighting tribes form and one of these tribes, the Vicia set up a hive situation within an abandoned steelworks in Birmingham, they continue to live their lives, building what they need as they go along, recon and defence machines, food cultivation, water collection and scrap collection, whilst also creating water purification and hydrogen fuel cell technology within the hive.

    Eventually the hive becomes cramped and overcrowded and can no longer support the life of the tribe within it, so plans are made to create a completely new way of living where they become a part of the hive in a symbiotic relationship with the hive and the people unable to operate without each other...... so this is what i'm working on for the final crit in a few weeks time.

    The images below are nodes within this new hive condition and these connect and can be added to with further nodes and also programs filling the voids between the nodes as required by the tribe, so that eventually as the tribe grows, this thing with spread out and move across the Choleric sector, in a sort of cell division and multiplication way (can you tell all this is still brewing in my mind!)

    So yes, this is me, posting up for any comments or thoughts you guys and gals might have.
