When I first thought about the city of Baucis I felt that the inhibitions would be of high intelligent to be able to build a city that is high above the trees and in the clouds. This thought was also helped when it talked about the inhabitants looking down to the forest below and examining it, this made me think that the people living there would have debates about the different planets and animals they see. When thinking about what the city would be made of I first thought of wood but I remembered that the inhabitants wouldnt want to be in contact with the earth. So, going back to the high intelligent idea I thought that stone might be a better answer as it will help to show that the citys people could plan out moving the large blocks upwards along with being a more stable structure agents the high winds of it being up so high. One of the smaller ideas I had about the city is the way that it might protect its self from people falling off the side, high winds or a large group of birds. I thought that the best answer to this would be a wall made out of glass so the inhabitants can still look out to the forest, but this idea could also be used if I was following the route of the inhabitants hating the earth with the only change being a stone wall.
These are the 3 key
thumbnail sketches that I feel I will be using to for my final 3 concept drawings. I have chosen these 3 as I feel that they express the first ideas I had of the city and its people, and with a little tweaking I can add in the later ideas I had such as the materials used to build it.
