Future City's design employs a hexagonal module inspired by the rich tradition of Islamic-influenced geometries. This selection transcends mere aesthetics, offering a foundation for optimal space utilization, adaptable planning, scalability for future growth, and ease of replication for sustainable construction. The hexagons are strategically arranged in a hive grid pattern, subsequently subjected to parametric distortion through an axial curve. This innovative approach dynamically adjusts the module's height and scale, resulting in a visually striking and functionally diverse urban environment.

Future City prioritizes a dynamic streetscape achieved through a strategic deformation of the hexagonal grid. This approach fosters a network of pedestrian-friendly thoroughfares, converging at a central plaza that serves as the community's focal point. The expansive streets accommodate a spectrum of mobility needs, seamlessly integrating walkers, cyclists, and even autonomous vehicles.  Furthermore, this adaptable infrastructure transcends mere transportation. It functions as a flexible platform, readily accommodating mobile retail, delivery services, medical clinics, and shared transportation hubs, fostering a vibrant and multifaceted urban environment.

The strategic deformation of the hexagonal grid fosters not only a network of pedestrian-friendly streets but also a central plaza, serving as the city's vibrant core. This space features three distinct, architecturally-integrated units. These hubs house innovative showrooms, bustling marketplaces, and farm-to-table restaurants, fostering a dynamic nexus of commerce and community engagement. Further emphasizing the project's commitment to sustainability, vertical farms strategically line the plaza's perimeter. These structures transcend their primary function, transforming into interactive community spaces. Residents actively participate in cultivating fresh produce, supplying both their own needs and the farm-to-table restaurants below. This collaborative approach not only celebrates a bountiful harvest but also offers a culinary experience rooted in local sourcing and environmental responsibility.
