Or what if humans retaliated/rejected against modern values/technology/ways of living and came back to their place and harmony within nature. Simpler and less consumerist/capitalist.

Or been forced to live this way because we have depleted nearly all the resources.

What if actually there was even less harmony than in the world today- more conflicts, corruption, imbalance of wealth and power in a nearly lifeless, sterile world. Each person/family fending for themselves and a complete breakdown in community, humanity and communication.

OR

What if humans had learned to value nature again (and work with it rather than against it) and instead of creating more waste e.g., Plastics and chemicals and stop air, land and water pollution as well as burning and releasing emissions -  instead had learnt to harness and respect the earth and found ways to incorporate and reuse the materials of waste products that have already been created.

The World in 2123: A Harmony of Wellness and Nature

In the year 2123, our planet faces significant challenges, from overpopulation and biodiversity loss to the pressures of work and study, social inequality, and mental health issues. The global community recognizes the urgent need for transformative solutions that not only heal the individual but also restore the delicate balance between humanity and nature.

1. Overpopulation and Environmental Strain:

Rapid population growth has strained resources and led to environmental degradation. Cities are expanding vertically, and megacities have transformed into sustainable urban hubs, integrating vertical farms, green spaces, and renewable energy sources.

2. Biodiversity Loss and Ecosystem Challenges:

In response to biodiversity loss, protected lands and rewilding initiatives have flourished. The wellness center plays a crucial role by cultivating a micro-climate for plants, contributing to the restoration of ecosystems. This interconnectedness with nature becomes a cornerstone for environmental healing.

3. Health and Humanity:

The world acknowledges the interconnectedness of physical and mental health. The wellness center serves as a haven for holistic healing, offering medical expertise, mental health support, and a tranquil environment designed to combat stress and promote emotional well-being.

4. Energy Revolution:

Faced with the challenges of traditional energy sources, the world has embraced a revolution in sustainable energy. Clean technologies, harnessing solar, wind, and other renewable sources, power the sustainable megacities, ensuring a harmonious coexistence with nature.

5. Redefining Work and Study:

The heavy pressures of work and study have given way to a balanced approach. People are encouraged to spend time outdoors, fostering creativity and well-being. The wellness center serves as a retreat, providing a calm environment for contemplation and rejuvenation.

6. Global Equality and Inclusivity:

Efforts to combat social inequality have resulted in a more inclusive society. The wellness center promotes accessibility to all, regardless of background, offering a safe space where everyone can access the benefits of nature and healing.

7. Spirituality and Connection:

Recognizing the importance of spirituality, the wellness center embraces diverse beliefs, creating spaces for reflection and connection. The intuitive part of the brain is nurtured through immersive experiences, fostering a deep connection to the planet and its lifeforms.

8. Rediscovering the Human-Nature Bond:

The essence of the year 2123 lies in rediscovering the profound connection between humans and nature. The wellness center's mission is not only to heal individuals but also to awaken a collective consciousness that cherishes and protects the planet.

As we step into this speculative future, the wellness center stands as a beacon of hope, a place where the harmony between humanity and nature is restored, and individuals thrive in a balanced, interconnected world.

1. List 5 major problems in the next 100 years

-Overpopulation

-A decrease in general global health- chronic illnesses, lack of resources for medicine and care, malnutrition from the inability to grow food or lack of accessibility, polluted air, soil and water

-Biodiversity loss

-Increase of poverty and inequality

-More ‘advanced’ weapons and methods of destruction

2. Describe the purpose of wellness centre in 1 sentence

Place of healing, calmness and safety away from the outside world - (whatever world that may be)

3. How can a wellness centre solve those problems?

Providing an environment where the air is monitored, a micro-climate for plants to thrive – cultivated for food and medicine and shared with the people. Rewilding. Being on ‘protected land.’ Harnessing alternative energies. Creating a space where people feel safe and listened to. A place of medical care and experts (physical and mental)

4. Describe your definition of being 'Healthy'

Mentally: clear, content, flourishing headspace where darkness and despair have not consumed you

Nourishing your body and mind. Being free of ache, pain, disease and sickness or being able to minimise the impacts of these effects.

A state of constant healing and care.

[I think this quite a good topic to stuff as it’s also very relative and can be analysed in lots of different ways!]

5. What do we have to do with spirituality, if you want to include into this wellness centre?

Connection to animals, lifeforms, planet as a whole and connection with the intuitive part of our brain.

1. What if in 2123, cities were full of  structures of sustainable design, incorporating vertical farms, urban environments, expansive green spaces, and renewable energy sources?

2. What if, in 2123, governments can utilise AI systems to analyze and respond to the emotional well-being of citizens?

3. What if, in 2123, space travel became a routine part of life, humanity could expand beyond Earth, establishing colonies on the moon, Mars, and beyond?

1. In the future, perhaps we will be able to see the healing landscape at any time? Such as sunrise, sunset, forest or seaside scenes that make people feel calm and happy.

2. Let the garbage completely away from our lives, so that people maintain a healthy life (improve the quality of people's life and thus reduce people's anxiety about this aspect). Maybe there could be a transmitter to send the waste we produce to a specific place, and this transmitter could allow people to see the capacity of different dumps and allow people to choose the appropriate capacity of the transfer site.

3. People's mood index color in public areas. In the future, it may be possible to realize that once people enter the public area, there will be a corresponding mood index value or color (for example, if a person is sad, then he will appear blue aperture to let people around him know how he feels. Or if a person is happy and wants to socialize, then he will have colors representing happiness and sociability all over his body.) The appearance of mood index colors can promote positive interaction between people and meet people's spiritual needs.

THE FUTURE OF URBAN LIVING

A cognitive city stretching across 170 kilometers, from the epic mountains of NEOM across inspirational desert valleys to the beautiful Red Sea. A mirrored architectural masterpiece towering 500 meters above sea level, but a land-saving 200 meters wide. THE LINE redefines the concept of urban development and what cities of the future will look like. A civilizational revolution, its unparalleled livability can be explored at THE LINE Exhibition - now welcoming visitors in Riyadh.

No roads, cars or emissions, it will run on 100% renewable energy and 95% of land will be preserved for nature. People's health and wellbeing will be prioritized over transportation and infrastructure, unlike traditional cities.

THE LINE will eventually accommodate 9 million people and will be built on a footprint of just 34 square kilometers. This will mean a reduced infrastructure footprint, creating never-before-seen efficiencies in city functions. The ideal climate all-year-round will ensure that residents can enjoy the surrounding nature. Residents will also have access to all daily essentials within a five-minute walk, in addition to high-speed rail - with an end-to-end transit of 20 minutes.

PLAY VIDEO TO DISCOVER THE LINE

Giles Pendleton

Executive Director

To a degree, THE LINE is NEOM. It is the epicenter for all activities - the primary home for residents, as a vertical city with all the activities that will be there.

Imagine then a whole city within a 500-meter tall and 200 meter-wide building, stretching 170 kilometers across the coast, desert and mountains of Northeast Saudi Arabia. A place housing nine million people within 34 square kilometers. Well, that's what we are building with THE LINE, the ultimate sidescraper.

Concept 1: A Symbiotic Bond with Nature

In the year 2123, humanity has undergone a profound transformation in its relationship with nature. Instead of creating waste and pollutants, people have learned to value and work with the Earth. Cities are no longer marred by plastic and chemical pollution; instead, they showcase sustainable designs that seamlessly integrate with the natural world. Vertical farms and expansive green spaces are woven into the urban fabric, providing both sustenance and serene environments for residents.

Implementation:

Waste Transformation Centers: Advanced waste transformation centers harness and reuse materials from existing waste products. Plastics and other discarded items are repurposed, reducing the need for new production and minimizing environmental impact.

Eco-Cities: Urban environments prioritize sustainability, incorporating vertical farming for food production, renewable energy sources, and expansive green spaces that serve as communal areas for relaxation and connection with nature.

Concept 2: Garbage-Free Living for Health and Well-Being

In the utopian world of 2123, the concept of waste has been eradicated from daily life. Cities are free from the burden of garbage, and a sophisticated waste management system ensures the seamless disposal of waste. Residents enjoy a healthier and anxiety-free lifestyle, knowing that their environment is pristine and devoid of pollution.

Implementation:

Transmitter-based Waste Disposal: Transmitters are deployed across the cityscape, allowing residents to effortlessly send their waste to designated disposal sites. The system provides real-time information on the capacity of different dumps, enabling individuals to make informed choices about waste disposal.

Enhanced Quality of Life: A garbage-free environment contributes to an improved quality of life, reducing stress and anxiety associated with pollution. Public spaces are vibrant and clean, fostering a sense of well-being among residents.

Concept 3: Mood-Enhanced Public Spaces

In 2123, the landscape of public areas is enriched with the expression of human emotions through a revolutionary mood index system. As people enter these spaces, their moods are visually represented, promoting positive interactions and meeting individuals' spiritual needs. This innovative approach fosters a sense of community and empathy.

Implementation:

Mood Index Colors: Public spaces are equipped with technology that displays individuals' mood index values or colors. For example, a person feeling sad emits a blue hue, while someone happy and sociable radiates vibrant colors. This system facilitates communication and understanding among people, promoting positive social interactions.

Emotional Well-Being: The mood-enhanced public spaces contribute to a heightened sense of emotional well-being, creating a supportive and inclusive environment. This visionary concept reflects a society where technology is harnessed not only for practical purposes but also for the enhancement of human connection and understanding.

PPU BRIEF: WHAT IF?

IF THE FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
IF IMAGINATION IS A SUPERPOWER, HOW DO YOU USE IT?

Speculative design is the practice of utilising design as a tool to create not only
things but ideas (Dunne & Raby 2013). Repositioning design to consider the future
we may or may not want and acting as a catalyst to produce alternative realities
through social dreaming.
