When nature fails to provide, human imagination and intelligence answer its call. A new concept for a new challenge: The bringing of life to morphologically sterile places, near urbanized and organized areas as cities and airports.

Steel, glass and reinforced concrete can be assembled by special technique called “static equilibrium” which allows for the creation of unique structures in infinite spaces. As the magic carpet of Aladdin has seen a new world to his princess, the Inhabited Flying Carpet shows how to artificial reality insert in "vacuum" spaces, near centers and cities.

Thanks to the intelligent union of structural and functional elements, the carpet has amazing form that evokes aspects of Mediterranean culture and its fantastic Aladdin legend and his magic carpet. Hence fourth the shape of the carpet becomes then an expression of conceptual design derived from the Arab culture.

In few words, the carpet is a union of technology and sustainability. Looking for a inexpert that the concept is utopian, a vision for the future, not for technical reasons but because the world is used to a living as a community. Once the carpet is built it can flourish as a wonder of the world, a point of attraction, a place where dreams come alive and meet reality. This Flying carpet enables and a new form of living, a safe, secure environment for life to flourish with no need from its outside resources.

The elements of the project

It is extremely important to note that the carpet has more than 15.000 meters squared of living, commercial and productive spaces, it’s a huge village, with dimension: 120m x 450 m x 170m.

Wind – The “Tornado” glass structures and building accesses. 

Thanks to this one of a kind column design the structure can be seen as a flying carpet. The tornadoes shaped column design composed of steel and glass host the stairs, elevators and offices.

Taking advantage of solar energy allows for electricity to be distributed to the entire building focusing on powering our needs. The carpet is autonomous and independent, no central electrics are needed allowing this Flying carpet to be built in distant places that connection to electricity in no existent. We can say that this structure is a self sufficient inhabitable green living quarters that minimizes environmental impact.

To provide sufficient resistance to the massive loads, the arches will be built from steel core.  Thanks to the corten coat, the arches appear like a natural part of desert landscape.

Earth – Garden and farm in the carpet.

Through new technologies an artificial farm can be created in the belly of the structure, exactly in the upper part of the suspension cylinder. This farm can give provide and vegetables for all the inhabitants of the flying carpet. With introducing water in to the belly of the carpet a comfortable habitat with moderate temperature can be created sustained.

A farm will be created in the carpet exactly in the bottom part of the suspension cylinder, supporting life for cows, sheep's, rabbits and chickens to produce natural products life sustaining products. Food processing activities such as (small laboratories to make bread, cheese and yogurt) are present in the structure to support agricultural productions.

Furthermore the structure will host offices, homes, supermarkets and many other services such as  (hairdresser-beautician, laundry, nursery, stores and restaurants); the visitors can taste the organic products harvested right there in the Flying carpet.

Urban center

The Inhabited Flying Carpet can dialog with the surrounding area, a real urban center able to manage it self that can also communicate with the outside without isolation.
