Aerogel

Luego de que 565 me preguntara si era photoshop lo que suspendia a las aereo-ciudades...
Encontre en el articulo de Mildz que Saraceno esta interesado en un material que se llama aerogel, el cual permitiria que las ciudades-burbujas pudiesen volar con energia solar...
Y Nasa dice:

-Provides 39 times more insulating than the best fiberglass insulation

Air-Port-City

Designed by Tomas Saraceno.

"My idea for an Air-Port-City is to create platforms or habitable cells made up of cities that float in the air. These change form and join together like clouds. This freedom of movement is borrowed from the orderly structure of airports, and it allows for the creation of the first international city. Airports are divided by “air-side” and “land-side”; on the “air-side” you are under the jurisdiction of international law. Your every action is judged according to international norms. Air-Port-City is like a flying airport; you will be able to legally travel across the world while taking advantage of airport regulations. This structure seeks to challenge today’s political, social, cultural and military restrictions in an attempt to re-establish new concepts of synergy.

Up in the sky there will be this cloud, a habitable platform that floats in the air, changing form and merging with other platforms just as clouds do. It will fly through the atmosphere pushed by the winds, both local and global, in an attempt to equalise the (social) temperature and differences in pressure. It will be a sustainable and mobile migration. These aerial cities will be in a permanent state of transformation, similar to nomadic cities. After all, gypsies never go back to the same place simply because the place is constantly changing."
