suckerPUNCH: describe your project.

sanne PLOMP: Halfway between Mars and Jupiter lies the asteroid belt, an area with a large amount of resource rich asteroids. Here the project is situated. It is home to 5000 people living and working together in one space colony. This society is developed around the political philosophy of anarchism and the writings of Peter Kropotkin and Ursula K. LeGuin.
The project is an aesthetic and functional representation of the society it houses. Its societal properties -its lack of a currency, the abolishments of any form of government and the absence of any form of power concentration-, together with the day to day activities like sleeping, working, eating and relaxing, created the architecture.

The shape itself emerged by means of scripting, to simulate the growth of the society and its internal dynamic.
