Welcome to Biotech City, a new vision for urban living that addresses the environmental challenges we face today.

This proposed domed city would build on the many various attempts at a bio-dome habitat, where the systems are self sustaining.

This innovative project combines advanced technology with ecological balance to create a greener, more resilient city. It also is equipped to handle extreme environments, of which our planet will see more of in the coming decades.

By focusing on sustainable construction, Biotech City represents a forward-thinking approach to city design, where modern amenities and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. It’s not just a place to live, but a model for how cities can thrive in the 21st century, setting a new standard for urban development.

Biotech City could be where the future of urban living begins.

The self-sustaining dome design has hexagon-shaped roof panels that integrate solar into their design, bringing clean energy to the system.

The dome’s designers wanted it to be possible to locate Biotech city anywhere, from a dense jungle environment, to a harsh desert one.

“The Biotech City carefully adjusts to the challenges of extreme climates. Its form responds in detail to the specific environmental data of each location. In temperate zones, it adopts open configurations to take advantage of natural ventilation, while in arid regions it uses opaque structures to protect against solar heat. This precise adaptability redefines urban resilience, demonstrating the perfect combination of sustainability and innovative design, and is a model in the varied range of environmental settings.”

Learning from what living in Biotech City is like, the designers plan to improve the technology and layout to provide optimal conditions.
