Invisible Cities: Thumbnails (Part 2)


Baucis, the excerpt states, is set within a forest environment. As the houses are mentioned to be raised from the ground and the inhabitants don't have any contact with it, I thought about the ways in which they could sustain themselves; if they used fire as a means of fuel/power, it would make sense to have the buildings spaced further apart (especially if they are made out of wood) - bridges therefore seemed to be a suitable way of linking parts of the city together. Solar and hydropower also seemed to be power possibilities with the former moreso than the latter given the fact that the buildings are elevated.
