The
Technical description:
The Town, without
"shadow" has the shape of a spherical cap 1.2 km in diameter on its base, to
rise approximately every 4 meters. Discs forming paving stones in reinforced
concrete, supported by pillars, are reduced of 100 meters every time one
rises of a level. To the 13-th or 14-th and probably last level for example,
the height does not exceed 65/70 Meters. This floor outdoors becomes the
immense outside square or leisure park.
The
Raymond LEGER's sun City was thought on APRIL 9, 1985, revised on January
22, 1988 and republished on June 1-st, 1994.
Because of its shape,
the House is exposed, even in the winter solstice in the beam of the sun,
about is its height above the horizon, directly or in incidence for the
opposite part.
Without roof, every
circumference, situated outdoors is a garden bring down. The passive "Solar
power station" of production of warm air and warm water, or distilled water,
is on the suburbs in the South or the North, according to the hemispheres of
our earth, where would build itself the town. In the tropical Countries, the
Power plant can favor the internal ventilation of premises. In a current
flat, by comparison, the cubage is often of the order of 300 m3,
what allows the life of 4/5 persons in most!
The internal transport
are free and collective, by rails, on air cushions, or quite other not
polluting technique. Electric taxis, without driver, programmable, circulate
behind the cells of house and stop at the level of the place where one wants
to go in the Town. The biggest circumference, thus the longest route is
hardly of 4Km.! The trans-communication is pushed to its highest
technological degree, of from which least for example is to be finally able
to receive immediately, by pneumatic, on telematic call, warm morning bread!
But let us reassure we
the Shopping center, if he insures services to there stranger, by telematic
commands, for example, will remain, Ladies, favorable to the "shopping".
All the usual
integrations of a city are foreseen: services, Administrations, Industries,
Businesses, Craft, light Industries, Training, Schools, Spirituality,
Sports, Health etc.
The set divides in the
27 millions of m3 of the volume of the skullcap, or on the
developed 500 ha. Seen by the sky, this "House" is green, as the campaign!
On the other hand in
its intestines, reign a night, no more and no less that the one that one
finds in Shopping centers, workshops, Offices etc. and for what one
compensates, so well , with more and more pleasant lightings. Besides, in
every break, each can get back to his sunny harbor, because always exposed
well, and arranging, at least, a space of open air or greenhouse and space
sun by way of solarium, the winter.
"Well of light ", or
organized reflection of the sun brilliance, led by computer, and thoughtful
walls will be capable of bringing the sun to the most unusual places.
The Town makes its
affair of the internal pollutions. It gets back rainy waters, distils waste
water, connects on the national networks as regards the electricity, the
complement to water, the gas, the telephone, etc. and manages its
water-treatment plant farthest possible of the City. Trains, highways,
airports, approach the "House" without surrounding it for all that.
Once, resolved the
questions relative to the global constraints, can give free course, in all
the creative innovations, notably in internal decoration.
A geo-biological study
should be confided to experts, as Mister Rémy Alexandre, because of the
masses in cause, weight, iron framework, polarity, tensions, it will be
necessary to stop any pernicious effects of the electric and static fields.
The House also uses
the natural geothermal science of the ground, thanks to an isolated thermal
steering wheel, created by any room, at the level of under meanly, which, by
conduction, try to return the House thermally insulated, in the average of
the temperatures observed on the site in the year, + 12°C, in France.
It is, doubtless, one
of rare times to the world where the structure of the House, is going to
create the function of the Company.
The self-management
finds a unique field of investigations to the world there, because of the
configuration and the sociological implications of this Town. The moment did
not indeed come, to experiment a scenario, of a new more convenient, social
and economic order to be prepared, the conditions of a better life of the
3-rd millennium.
The environment of the
Town is scrupulously protected so that each can see finally a distant
horizon, the least soiled possible, by leaving in the meadows, in trees, in
fields, their bodily function.
The work becomes an
occupation, without being a punishment. The Town tries to reduce it by means
of the knowledge and of the imagination. The training is highly opened to
all. It is permanent.
On the economic plan,
the research for optimization of the rough
material of the City, been a part
of the original deontology of the citizens, because it is going to benefit
from it, him even in return. The right, does not subsidize any more the Duty
established on the only respect due to the Other one.
The Town fits
nevertheless, in the national tissue, but assumes its appropriate
responsibilities in the field of its community life. The models being very
well able to go back up until modify the common law of the Country.
It is situated at the
political level essentially, and this for all the Countries, especially
those evil, or for the better, of increase in population:
300 000 "Houses" seem
to represent a potential market in 50 years. The concerned industries are
those of the building. All the Sciences and the human activities are even
the concerned, most abstracted as philosophy, sociology, policy.
It will be necessary
to build of immense factories with cement and with concrete, and to foresee,
colossal supplies: 13 millions of m3 of forms.
The City concerns
everybody, and if its resemblance can compare with that of the hive, it is
evident that each chooses, quite freely to live there! Is the announced
uniformity uglier than that of the towers without sun? While each will have
the garden, the free air with satisfaction and the vast horizons to be
contemplated! Here is a real project of society, so looked for today.
The Economical context :
If the budget of this
project remains to encircle, the complete study: feasibility, technical
analyses, structures, urbanistic, sociological etc. represent more of:
multi-field 40 000 hours of a team, estimated at 1.5 million of USD. The low
fork of such a set is probably 3 billion USD.
The developed being
surface of the order of: 5 400 000 m². It is thus to the cost of
construction of the order of 6900 Dirhams/ m², that it is reasonable to
claim to arrive.
The meeting of private
capital can put no problem, because the city is sold by portions, as
apartments or industrial premises, part of the State and the community
paying off on the profits of the Town.
As comparison, the "Tunnel Under The Manche", will have cost, as it is said,
15 Billion of USD. Once again it is the transport which takes it, to the
detriment of so many people who try to find accommodation.
Our company is anxious to buy exclusively components, entering the
manufacture of products above indicated, for the respect for the
manufacturing standards bound to the experience. |
