Beyond



Section Break



I've written this plan for the version of my idea that I consider most achievable.


But what if someday it gains some hope of expanding?


If I can someday afford a permanent space, on land that I own...


Then the Starlingship can grow into something many times bigger.

What would it become if I had all the resources I want?


Here's an attempt at exploring my ultimate dream for the Starlingship. Scroll down to read it, or just continue to the next page!

Building


If the Starlingship is going to be a permanent building, and I get to decide what kind...


It has to be a concrete dome. Nothing else is that durable, energy-efficient, AND cool-looking.


And I would want to live in that same dome, right beside my business.


Or at least in a house nearby, with the dome as an adjacent building on the same land.


https://monolithicdome.com/ is a website that provides resources for building these.

A Whole City



Section Break



In the most basic version of this scenario, it's just one shelf of apartments.


But if it weren't constrained by travel...


If the Starlingship had a whole building, or even just a whole permanent room to be in...


If I had the funds to commission cubes from not just a few artists, but hundreds...


How much more could we accomplish together?

I picture a room ringed by walls of apartments, the center full of potted trees and comfy chairs.


You could walk around the outside of the whole complex-- then go in to see the open sides of the apartments, looking out on their beautiful garden courtyard.

You could spend a day in the courtyard. Whole families and groups of friends could hang out there.


Reserve it for parties. Invite local musicians in to play.


Or just relax and read.
