The project envisions a future where rapid population growth, resource scarcity, and climate change force humans to inhabit previously uninhabitable regions such as deserts. To address this challenge, we propose an adaptive, self-organizing system composed of autonomous, self-assembled modular robotic units. These units, functioning both individually and collectively, can autonomously adapt and transform to create sustainable living conditions by integrating design, technology, and ecology. Drawing insights from thinkers like Jeremy Rifkin and Benjamin Bratton, the project seeks to merge design, technology, and ecology to transform challenging landscapes into viable habitats for very large buildings designed with 80% nonhuman and 20% human programming.
