A Line in the World: A Year on the North Sea Coast: the ‘magical’ (Charles Foster) and ‘beautiful’ (Jessica J. Lee) memoir of life on the wild Danish coast

Product Information

To deal with the population growth that Saudi Arabia is expecting, Jeddah and Riyadh can only absorb so many people before the infrastructure is maxed out.

But some want to escape and to be remote from others – how will you cater for that small group in society?I.T, Silicon Valley or Stanford, for instance, then THE LINE is going to appeal to you as a new honeypot city. Passionate about architecture, he drives NEOM’s multidisciplinary development effort to ensure that THE LINE becomes a global best-practice example for cities. The most important thing for us is that we're building a very large structure in a pristine part of the world.

there are a large amount of people that want the lift on the 50th floor to go to the 60th floor then you are able to make the lives of those people easier by ensuring the elevator is waiting there for them – rather than a predetermined system that means them having to press a button and wait for it to arrive down from the 100th floor. Our progressive design offers immediate and uninterrupted access to nature within a two-minute walk – through its diverse open spaces, suspended on multiple levels. The idea of no cars, commutes, congestion or pollution – and a circular economy with little or no waste in a cognitive city set against a backdrop of thriving nature. And it's a virtuous circle because the more the system learns, the bigger the data pool and the more accurate the algorithms become.To ensure the establishment of microclimatic spaces, the environment has been carefully designed to allow for an optimal balance of sunlight, shade and natural ventilation. The project will have a very strong technology, biomedical and educational focus – so if you would naturally end up in the ecosystems at M. NEOM is leading a team of the brightest minds in architecture, engineering and construction to make the idea of building upwards a reality. Imagine if you pre-clear, go through a biometric scanner and your bag is transported to your destination for you.

It will tick a lot of boxes for people who believe in what we're doing in terms of sustainability and leaving a smaller footprint in the world. The idea is that irrespective of what you do for a living or what you earn, you share the same amenities in the same close proximity to you as everyone else. This is the story of the violent collisions between the people who live in these wild places and the vagaries of the natural world.Each value of the parameter corresponds to a point in spacetime and varying the parameter traces out a line. People will do the same thing because everything runs in a dead straight line, you can run everything adjacent and as efficiently, and fast, as possible. There are, of course, other benefits in relation to integrating solar panels into the southern wall and so on.
