Everdome City

Concept art of martian city in Everdome Metaverse, located in Jezero Crater, as of year 2170. In this exact place before I've designed Mars Colony for 1000 people back in the 2019, it was later selected as the Perseverance Rover landing site.

This megastructure in form of 6 pointed star covers large area with pressurized, translucent membrane made of aerogel and kevlar nanomaterials. Truss construction with metal coating itself has gigantinc span - since there's only 0,3g on Mars (hopefully) in bright future we will be able to achieve such spectacular structural engeneering. City lying below has 6 main districts with 15 000 plots. Central part, called Everdome Headquarters is located just below the dome. It is integrated with megastructure, sevrves various soical and comercial purposes and currently I've been working on interior of this monster with art director and architect Marcin Panasiuk. Whole concept somehow resembles Beijing airport by Zaha Hadid architects and some MAD studio designs like Harbin Opera, but to be honest when you have a giant, hexagonal futuristic city to cover, it may be hard to come up with something oblique and futuristic which at the same time isn't just a plain geodesic dome. So despite my individual design process the result is similiar to architecture that we know.

Concept done in close collaboration with Leszek Orzechowski - Space Architect and Science Consultant, Łukasz Alwast - Worldbuilding Director and Mateusz Tokarz - Metaverse Executive Producer. Soft - blender 2.9, some dirt textures and rock assemblies from quixel and poliigon.

detail 3 - auxiliary structures around the main city - their purpose is yet to be defined but I thought that would be a cool concert/sports hall or a picturesque park
