    Superstar
    THE SUPERSTAR: Self-Sustaining City of the Future
    by Evelyn Lee



    "The city of tomorrow takes to the skies in an incredible new concept from Beijing-based MAD Architects. Although its spires may look menacing, the aptly named Superstar is a completely self-sustaining city that is capable of producing all of its own power and food while recycling all of its waste. Conceived as a future-forward update to the contemporary Chinatown, the Superstar will travel the globe, supplying its host cities with energy, commerce, and cultural activities."

    How and why do you transport such a huge structure?
    I'm curious how they are going to find a way to "travel the globe" that is environmentally sound.

    I also wonder why they would want to do such a thing ... ?
    As virtual tourists we can all see how the 'Superstar' is functioning. If it proves to be a valid solution then I imagine that more would be constructed ... but travelling it around the globe seems excessive and silly

    As a mobile Chinatown looks possible... A place to consume...
    Maybe to follow MAD Architects' concepts it's easier for 11th Venice Biennale visitors.
