The modern wood-burning stove, which gives a comforting view of the blazing fire, restores the hearth to the heart of the home. In these up-to-date designs the line between fireplace and stove is blurred; highly insulated, efficient and safe, perhaps their greatest attraction remains the age-old pleasure of watching a living fire.

If the economy does crash and companies go bankrupt, can we please have abandoned warehouses that get turned into utilitarian spaces by artists and people that need it like we did after industrial decline in the 1970s?

I'd personally like drunk revellers to tapdance on the ruins of where mighty banks once stood regal, their floor-to-ceiling concealing not secrets, but revealing the joys inside. I want art to grow through the barren floors once inhospitable to thought and feeling, do you hear me? Nature is healing etc. etc.

So this was inspired by the Exodan ships in Becky Chambers' Record of a Spaceborn Few and how they're laid out in recursive hexagons. I kind of just did it to see if I could, and started thinking architecturally / city planner style, so things aren't necessarily how they're described in the book, but how I would want a utopian nested hex city. I put in actual doors in the residential areas which was maybe unnecessary. It doesn't include manufacturing really, and I'm not totally sure where education goes, but there's some flexibility for a lot of things under the "retail" category. I preferred to make it all symmetrical rather than making district centers different. There could maybe be a bigger park around the Center, for composting, instead of "administration", which a society with internet may not need actual rooms for. Instead of handwaving that there's a transport level above this, I specifically tried to lay out a way to walk/ride through from any place to another, with some consideration for privacy, although sometimes traffic will go through your yard. Arguably there could be a 7th scale level, but I'm not going to torture InDesign any more.

The smallest unit is the hexagonal room. Homes are 5 rooms (sometimes 1 or 4 depending on throughway placement) and a half bath around a living room, which has a hallway going to the center of each hex. Hexes are made up of 6 homes around a yard and eating area with a kitchen in the middle, with households taking turns making one big 30 person meal a day. There are six hexes in a neighborhood around each park, and each park has a gym, pool, and public bath center servicing about 180 people. Six neighborhoods surround each district with shops, public spaces, services, and a clinic in the center for around 1080 people. The districts surround an administrative center, and death services in the middle. The whole ship houses around 6500 people.
