Arcology - "An ideal integrated city contained within a massive vertical structure."
Arcology tells the story of a futuristic tower-city constructed in Tokyo Bay. Inspired by visionary megastructures such as X-Seed 4000 and the Tokyo Tower of Babel, each track represents a different level of the tower.
Foundation Stone portrays the monolithic base structure and industrial sector. Sunken Dreams captures the struggles, expectations and disappointments of citizens living in the residential biodome, while Neon Games depicts the opulent entertainment level. Emotional Algorithm portrays the high-tech research sector, and Exosphere takes you on a ride in the space elevator, past secret military zones to the Kármán line. Finally, Cosmos concludes the journey with a sobering look down from above.
