The Republic, a computer model of a future urban floor plan for an administrative and institutional area has commenced and aims to be unparalleled in size and complexity. Its initial aim is to produce a series of audiovisual dialogues exploring the urban architecture. Longer term objectives are for an audiovisual ideas resource for architects, urban planners and students. What is unique to this project is the incorporation on metamaterial concepts in the design which are normally found in large geometric structures such as photonic crystals, a rapidly growing area of nano engineering.
