A City to Space

'Space Tethers' (aka. space elevators or space bridges) are structures of the future that will provide a direct connection between the surface of a planet and a counterweight in space. When society shifts and adopts a space-oriented economy, perhaps this new and efficient transitway will become the foundation of an ever-growing city. I used Midjourney to explore architecture at an enormous and challenging scale and while rapidly iterating through masses of images, nearly 900 in total, I discovered dozens of beautiful representations and architectural styles that deserve a submission of their own. However, with the level of production AI generation provides, the route I decided to take was a kind that exhibited a similar sense of scale, limitless, and inspiration.
