1 THE TERRA CHRONICLES AN ARCHIVE OF LIFE GIVEN THE PERPETUAL EXPANSION OF HUMAN ACTIVI- TIES, THE IMPACT ON EARTH S NATURAL ECOSYSTEMS BECOME INCREASINGLY SEVERE AND LETHAL. PROG- RESS IN CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES ALLOW US TO BUILD UPWARDS INTO OUTER SPACE. THE TERRA CHRONICLES PROPOSES A NETWORK OF VERTICAL MONUMENTS FOR THE LIFE ON EARTH, CONTINUOUS- LY BUILT UP THROUGH THE DECADES INTO THE GREAT BEYOND. THE TERRA CHRONICLES ARCHIVES ALL LIVING SPE- CIES IN ITS PROXIMITY BY STORING THEIR DNA AND DATA SAMPLES OF WITHIN A FIBER UNIT THAT REFLECTS THE INTERACTIONS AND CRISIS EACH SPECIES FAC- ES THROUGH TIME. THE PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIP BE- TWEEN EACH FIBER UNIT BECOMES REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CORRELATION OF THE SPECIES. THE DISTILLED NODES BETWEEN SEVERAL FIBERS ARE THE ECOSYS- TEMS THE SPECIES ARE FOUND IN. THESE KNOTS REC- REATE NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS AND PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REHABILITATE LIVING AND ENDAN- GERED SPECIES. THEY ARE ALSO REPLICAS OF ECO- SYSTEMS ON EARTH. THE TERRA CHRONICLES HOST SEEDS OF BIOMES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL BE RE- STORED OR EXPANDED SO THAT ONE DAY THE EARTH OR OTHER HABITABLE LOCATIONS COULD TEEM WITH LIFE. THE TERRA CHRONICLES IS CONSTRUCTED OF THREE DISTINCT STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS FOR COHERENT AR- TICULATION OF ITS FUNCTION AND FORM. THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE IS MADE FROM THICK BONE LIKE BRANCH- ES THAT SUPPORT THE SECONDARY HAIR-LIKE FIBERS THAT EMBODIES EACH SPECIES AND THE TERTIARY SYS- TEM WHICH IS COMPOSED OF SOFT ROUND MEMBRANE CAPSULES EXTRUDED FROM THE INTERSECTION AND NODES OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MEMBERS. FROM THE DISTANCE, EACH TOWER READS AS A LINEAR TIMELINE, EXTENDING INTO SPACE, EMBODYING THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE ORGANISMS ON EARTH THAT ARE STRUGGLING TO CHANGE AND ADAPT TO THEIR EN- VIRONMENT. THE TERRA CHRONICLES IS A TRIBUTE TO NOSTALGIA BUT ALSO A POTENTIAL SEED WAITING ACTIVATION INTO SPACE JACQUES ROUGERIE FOUNDATION INNOVATION AND ARCHITECTURE FOR SPACE AWARD THE TERRA CHRONICLE
