"If you think Sietch Nevada sounds like a city taken straight out of the novel Dune then you’re right – a Sietch is actually a cave system that served as a village for the Fremen tribal community."
Matsys Designs designed this underground city to be built into the Nevada desert for the future to create an oasis for the drought-stricken world of the future. Now, if you think I'm going to have another rant about everything that is wrong with this idea, you are absolutely... wrong.
All I'm saying is that if we decide to start interfering with what momma nature has designed, we must be 100% sure that the designs will not contradict. That's all.
Apart from that, this is brilliant. Now I don't know about you but I'm not all that big on the whole "we are going to destroy everything around us in a matter of a few milliseconds through global warming unless we stop breathing, commuting and showering right now!" guilt campaign. The temperature on the fat lump of rock in space we call home has risen and dropped since "The BOOM." However, as from the perspective of independent thought, people as a community have next to nothing that distinguishes them from sheep, so it is our solemn duty as designers to make saving the planet as natural for them as... well, breathing. So I am glad to see that there are people out there who are thinking ahead to times when we may have to work hard in order to fulfill our most basic needs. When we may have to create such environments to protect things we now take for granted... like water.
