00:00:00,915 --> 00:00:03,999
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

2
00:00:04,139 --> 00:00:08,000
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

3
00:00:09,636 --> 00:00:14,071
The point is you have to learn how to expect change

4
00:00:14,211 --> 00:00:17,800
and how to step into the future without pain.

00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,200
Inside the New City

7
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:26,400
- And how long will it take to build these cities?

8
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:30,560
- I would say it would take approximately 10 years

9
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:35,800
to change the surface of the Earth with multiple jigs and giant machines,

10
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:39,990
not brick layers or plasterers, [but] high-tech systems.

11
00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:43,587
In about 10 years, there would be garden cities all over the world,

12
00:00:43,727 --> 00:00:47,171
but we would have to level most of the old cities

13
00:00:47,311 --> 00:00:51,187
and mine them for steel, glass, whatever we can get from them.

14
00:00:51,327 --> 00:00:57,236
After we level the cities, we might keep a few cities as museum cities

15
00:00:57,376 --> 00:01:00,288
to show people what people used to live in

16
00:01:00,428 --> 00:01:03,781
and to show kids of the future what the world used to be,

17
00:01:03,921 --> 00:01:07,000
just as the pyramids would be preserved.

18
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:15,812
This is inside the new city.

19
00:01:18,588 --> 00:01:22,999
This is just where people live: flowers, gardens,

20
00:01:23,139 --> 00:01:28,150
no slums, no street people, no hungry people.

21
00:01:28,677 --> 00:01:33,169
Hi, my name's Andrew Buxton. I’m the co-founder of The Venus Project Design

22
00:01:33,309 --> 00:01:35,989
with my partner, Julita Wielgat.

23
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:41,180
We started working for The Venus Project two years ago to help them develop

24
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:46,860
the physical models that Jacque has done throughout his life with Roxanne

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,200
into 3D CGI for use in future films and media.

26
00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:56,254
We’re also building up a global database of scientists and technicians,

27
00:01:56,394 --> 00:01:59,213
engineers, architects, etc,

28
00:01:59,353 --> 00:02:02,999
which we intend to use at a later date, if any countries,

29
00:02:03,139 --> 00:02:06,408
or if there's a global move towards a Resource-Based Economy

30
00:02:06,548 --> 00:02:10,456
that we would be in a position to be able to help build teams, globally,

31
00:02:10,596 --> 00:02:14,258
to begin the design of the first cities.

32
00:02:39,974 --> 00:02:45,450
In ancient Rome they had to use a lot of columns to support a structure.

33
00:02:45,590 --> 00:02:50,591
Now you can have a structure way out without any braces or anything.

34
00:02:50,731 --> 00:02:55,418
The old architect says "It looks bad. You've got to put some braces there!"

35
00:02:55,558 --> 00:02:57,300
You don’t need them anymore.

36
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,060
The old airplanes were braced all over the place.

37
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,842
Now the wings are tough enough to hold themselves up.

38
00:03:04,509 --> 00:03:07,599
If you cling to the romantic concepts

39
00:03:07,739 --> 00:03:10,678
of the German house or the Swedish house,

40
00:03:10,818 --> 00:03:14,660
you know, with all the lines, or English architecture,

41
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,264
then you’re dead. You’re living the life of a dead person

42
00:03:18,404 --> 00:03:21,260
that influenced you at school.

43
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,100
Let’s now do architecture that’s relevant to the best of new materials.
